He kept asking me what was wrong that night and I kept responding, "Nothing."But it's all the nothings that silently strangle us and our relationships, isn't it?

Closure. This was a word that humans used a lot. They told themselves there had to be some sort of ritualistic ending in order to close the chapter and move on, but I wondered if chapters ever really closed, because each one was dependent on the one before.

Sometimes when we least expect it, love gives us a second chance.

It’s hard to let go, especially after you’ve invested a few years. It’s hard to let go of who we imagined someone else was too. You loved him so you overlooked all the thing that were obvious to everyone around you. We all do it.

Don’t blame yourself. You believed what he told you, because you trusted him. You’re a warm, open, trusting person. And you’re trustworthy. Trustworthy people like us always get screwed, because we expect other people to be like us. Don’t let his bad behavior make you question yourself.

Not trusting him and him not being trustworthy are two different things.

Forgiveness was complicated. When someone hurt us, betrayed us, they took something from us, trust, a belief that life was predictable, faith in people. It was easier to stay angry at someone else than to admit how vulnerable we were. We could all get hurt. And the people we loved the most were the ones that could hurt us the greatest. We were most vulnerable to them.But what was love if not giving those parts that scared us.

Some people will never love you no matter how hard you try and some people will love you without you having to try at all.

It's never the right time if it's the wrong person.
