61 " Let's be frank - there are times it feel the whole world is falling apart. You cannot compare your pain to others' so why respond with "someone else has it worse"?Pain is immeasurable when it's felt because in that moment it feels like the worst pain on earth. "
― Courtney Peppernell , Pillow Thoughts (Pillow Thoughts #1)
62 " By existing you are planting softness in soil that has turned hard. There is no need to surrender your existence. You are doing just fine by even existing at all. "
63 " Does art make sense to you? You are so brave an quiet; I think you would understand. "
64 " Is that why you play music so loud? A beat to drown out the thoughts, sound so high you cannot think, lyrics so close to home you don't even blink. "
65 " We’ve spent half the night arguing Because you’re there and I’m here But what else can we do I guess this is growing up When things don’t work out And you fight to hold on Until you realize that sometimes The only thing you have Is to keep moving on "
66 " It's the last day of the yearand I still lose myself in good booksand warm tea,those quiet nightsand writing your nameon my windshield. "
67 " The aches in my arms still surprise me, even years after letting you go. "
68 " Breathe in, breathe out slowly and count to ten. There is no rulebook on how to cope when these things end. You may not feel it now, but things will get better, even if life doesn't tell you when. "
69 " You’re beautiful without even trying but each time I bring you a flower it ends up dying and you don’t see how I look at you you just keep crying and the saddest part is that you’re so special but you think I’m lying "
70 " But what else am I supposed to do when your hair is soft and your eyes are blue? And my heart turns over at the sound of your name only you smile at me the way friends usually do. I am more of a mess than a rainy day because you have no idea I feel this way. "
71 " Then I am reminded that life will continue on, regardless of whether I choose to board the train or stay on the platform "
72 " They say don't fall in love with writersbecause their poemsare messyand their lettersare empty wordsdressed up to look pretty. But I sayfall in love with mebecause underneath the mess and in between the linesis a heart too full of lovethat would follow you to any city. Darling, kiss me like you need to feel safebecause my lips want to knowall the places you have been hurtso they can make all the paindrift away. "
73 " I keep wonderinghow sad do I have to befor someone to stop insistingeverything is going to be fine? "
74 " Just for one moment, try with all your might to let go of all the things that stop you from being you. "
75 " You remind me of home,of all the simple things in life,of light and love and the reasons I am not alone.You remind me of hope,of the sea and the sky,every hug and every kiss from your lips to your thighs.I have flown around the world and met no one like youbecause you are all the things I keep coming back to. "
76 " I will not bandage all your Wounds I will not kiss all your Bruises I will not admire all your Scars Instead I will watch you As you bandage yourself And mend all your bruises And wear your own scars Because you are your own Hero And all your sadness is Yours And I will love you Because of it All "
77 " They don't teach you that some people will turn on you even after you have loved them with all the atoms in your body "
78 " You stripped me of all my certainty and left me with all these bruises You stole so much of me, more than I had ever planned "
79 " I picked up all your things and I put them in a box. I was going to send them back to you, all those things you gave me when you promised I was the only thing you needed. And then I realized I can’t put every kiss in the box or return every “I love you.” I can’t return every time I held you or unwrite every love letter I wrote you. I can’t undo every time I touched you or unhear the way you said my name. I can’t send back every “You’re beautiful” because things will never be the same. What am I going to do with all these things if I can never pack them away? "
80 " I know you don't see yourself the way I see you and you still argue when I call you beautiful. But all the things you can't stand about yourself are all the things I can't go a day without. "
