imperfection

“I didn’t want to fix it, to forget. It wasn’t something that was broken. It’s just… something that happened. And like that hole, I’m just finding ways, every day, of working around it. Respecting and remembering and getting on at the same time.” -Sarah Dessen

dying is fine but maybe

“Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing.”

apology

I'm sorry
I'm so sorry that I want to talk to you
I'm so sorry that the only one who can get me out of this endless panic is you
I'm the most sorry that I have to delete you from my life.
I'm sorry that I wont remember any time we spent together
I'm sorry that maybe one day we'll pass on the road and not recognize each other
but maybe if we're really lucky we'll get that faint feeling in the air that something good happened a very very long time ago
And I'm sorry that this is all I'll have left of you.

Anticipation

It's already taken everything

break off the chains, shake off the dust

And I'm sorry if I haven't written to you in a while. It's just that life gets in the way of living. It's just that my fingers were stuck together. It's just that all the paper in the world caught fire.

break your heart open so a new light can get in

"A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mate's purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so a new light can get in, and make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life."
-Elizabeth Gilbert
