1 " When you stopped allowing toxins into your system, it meant getting rid of certain types of people in your life, too. Addictions didn’t only come in the form of alcohol or narcotics. Some of the worst addictions in one’s life could be the people allowed into it. I’d learned to be very selective about who I allowed into my world. It turned out, you didn’t need a big circle of people to be content. You simply needed the right people. "

7 " I love you as certain dark things are to be loved. In secret, between the shadow and the soul.” -Pablo Neruda "
8 " Funny how you could be a different character in different people’s storybooks. "
9 " Tell me your secrets, and I’ll tell you mine, "
10 " I love you in the light and in the dark. I love you like a whisper and like a shout. I love your good days and your bad days, and I love you. All of you. Every single piece … And every single scar. "

13 " She inched closer to me, moving her lips gently against mine. Her inhales became mine, and my exhales belonged to her. "
14 " ...we’re all a little broken. If you think anyone in this world doesn’t have cracks, scars, and a story, then you’re not looking close enough.
