6 Quotes by Alyssa Ahle

DESIRE: Trust me, if you reject love long enough you’ll forget how to accept it.

UNREQUITED LOVE: Some days my body feels empty and I feel like an idiot. To care for someone with every inch of your soul, and then find out they couldn’t care less about you... It’s like being slowly stabbed in the chest by someone who enjoys murdering the innocent. LOST: But you always seem so happy. UNREQUITED LOVE: There’s only so much you can’t feel.

UNREQUITED LOVE: Metaphorical symbols weigh more than the average human being.

GUARDED: Love is too powerful. You can’t build up a tolerance to it. SILENCED: I think if you expose yourself to it then you can fight it off more easily. Maybe kissing is, ironically, a kind of immunization. I mean I’m no doctor but isn’t that how shots work? You’re exposed to the germs so your body can fight them off?

GRIEF: How can you let someone go when you’ve already spent so much of your life with them? It just doesn’t feel natural. DEPENDENCE: I don’t know. I guess you just do it.

SILENCED: I don’t trust someone that doesn’t drink. GUARDED: And I don’t trust anyone who does. SILENCED: Touché́. (Takes a huge sip of her beer.)
