You know how hind-sight is 20/20? Love is when you look back and wouldn't change anything.

Just because you didn't speak the facts out loud didn't erase their existence. Silence was just a quieter way to lie.

You make yourself strong because it's expected of you. You become confident because someone beside you is unsure. You turn into the person others need you to be.

You don't love someone because they're perfect," she says. "You love them in spite of the fact that they're not." I don't know how to respond to that; it's like being told after thirty-five years that the sky, which I've seen as a brilliant blue, is in fact rather green.

It took me a lifetime to realizethings don't get lost if they don't have value- you don't miss what you don't care about.

...when people we love make choices, we don't always understand them. But we can go on loving them, just the same. It isn't a matter of comprehension. It's forgiveness.

I think people do things all the time in the name of love that they shouldn't be doing - such is the nature of us.
