You think you want to know something, and then once you do, all you can think about is erasing it from your mind.

Betrayal of any kind is hard, but betrayal by one's religion is excruciating. It makes you want to rage and weep.

I'm tired of carrying around the weight of the world. I'm just going to lay it down now. It's my time to die, and it's your time to live. Don't mess it up.

Once you know the truth, you can’t ever go back and pick up your suitcase of lies. Heavier or not, the truth is yours now.

All my life I've thought I needed someone to complete me, now I know I need to belong to myself.

I didn't know then what I wanted, but the ache for it was palpable.
