Ho sempre invidiato la capacità di dimenticare che possiedono alcune persone per le quali il passato è come un cambio di stagione, o come un paio di scarpe vecchie che basta condannare in fondo a un armadio perché siano incapaci di ripercorrere i passi perduti.

La delusione, a volte, non conosce consolazione alcuna, richiede solo tempo per essere assorbita e memoria per essere prevenuta.

This is what love does. In the stories, love healed your wounds, fixed what was broken, allowed you to go on. But love wasn’t a spell, some kind of benediction to be whispered, a balm or a cure-all. It was a single, fragile thread, which grew stronger through connection, through shared hardship and trust.

Stop punishing yourself for being someone with a heart. You cannot protect yourself from suffering. To live is to grieve. You are not protecting yourself by shutting yourself off from the world.

This was what love was. It was total. It brought her together with everything.

We do not get to choose when in our lives we feel pain. It comes when it comes, and we try to remember, even though we cannot imagine a day when it will release its hold on us, that all pain fades. All misery passes. Humanity is drawn to light, not darkness.
Chain of Gold, Cassandra Clare

You must fight this and defeat it. I know it's hard, but you can't let it hurt you like this. It's like you are a sailor at sea during a storm. If you let the sea take over you, you will drown, if you sail it good you will be safe ashore. Which one will you be, love, the bold sailor, or the tumultuous sea?
The Dawn And The Nightmare, Annamaria Ristori

Ci sono momenti in cui ricorriamo a formulazioni insensate e avanziamo pretese assurde per nascondere sentimenti lineari.

Le persone si aprivano e diventavano luminose oppure si rabbuiavano. A volte rivolgevano la loro luce verso l’interno, per non lasciarla vedere, perché non avevano altra scelta. E poi, a volte, le persone donavano la loro luce e cominciavano a spegnersi, a diventare quasi invisibili, se nessuno si prendeva cura di loro. Perche erano state troppo generose e rimanevano senza niente.
Accettazione, Jeff Vandermeer

The thing about mistakes was that they weren't always big, or obvious. Sometimes they were simple. Small. The decision to keep walking. The turn left instead of right. Those few extra steps in the wrong direction.

Wishes don't just come true. They're only the target you paint around what you want. You still have to hit the bull's-eye yourself.

But in a solitary life, there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth. Such a constellation was he to me.

Broken things healed thicker and stronger than they were before. Assuming one survived long enough to heal.

That is the thing with giving your heart. You never wait for someone to ask. You hold it out and hope they want it.
