All this hoping for something- or someone- that's maybe hopeless. I'm having a hard time processing what I am supposed to believe, or if I'm even supposed to. There is too much information, and I don't like a lot of it.

There will always be more questions. Every answer leads to more questions. The only way to survive is to let some of them go.

Little less than a promise, and a little more than a chance.

Do not just seek happiness for yourself. Seek happiness for all. Through kindness. Through mercy.

I know the odds are all against me and I know you might not feel this way too but I know I would rather die trying to know if I could mean something to you

arrears, n. My faithfulness was as unthinking as your lapse. Of all the things I though would go wrong, I never thought it would be that. It was a mistake, you said. But the cruel thing was, it felt like the mistake was mine, for trusting you.

You know, I'd get a tattoo with your name on it. Only, I want you to have the freedom to change your name if you want to.
