Want To Leave This Place

“Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.”

“I didn’t realize it, but the days came along one after another, and then two years were gone, and everything was gone, and I was gone.”

“Sometimes I forget that unsaid sentences do not mean unfelt emotions.”

“I’m independent and strong, but sometimes…just sometimes, it’s nice to be taken care of.”

“Maybe love stays. Maybe love can’t. Maybe love shouldn’t. Love arrives exactly when love is supposed to. And love leaves exactly when love must. When love arrives, say, ‘Welcome. Make yourself comfortable.’ If love leaves, ask her to leave the door open behind her. Turn off the music, listen to the quiet. Whisper, ‘Thank you for stopping by.’”
