Of course he freaked me out. Of course it's nothing to do with me. But none of that matters. He loved me and now he doesn't. I was everything to him and now I am nothing.

More quotes by Emma Forrest
Time heals all wounds. And if it doesn't, you name them something other than wounds and agree to let them stay.
Emma Forrest
At least you know where you are with blood. At least other people can see it.
Emma Forrest
There's so much guilt there attached to having a perfectly good life.
Emma Forrest
Yes, I have patterns of love addiction. But I'm a woman. Of course I do.
Emma Forrest
It took a long time, but my heart now feels full when I think of him. When you fall in love again—which I have—it's funny the other things that come back in with that open-ness. You have this ghost chorus of the lovers who came before, but they're benign now, they're good spirits.
Emma Forrest
When you live with voices in your head, you are drawn inextricably to voices outside your head. Very often the voices work to confirm your worst suspicions. Or think of things you could never have imagined! There are only so many hours of the day to hate yourself.
Emma Forrest
It's all in her walk, a cartoon swagger. Part Jayne Mansfield, part Muhammad Ali. Men never know if it's an invitation upstairs or an invitation outside.
Emma Forrest
I'm in love with someone good and kind and gentle, and he's seen the darkness too, but somehow we've become each other's light.
Emma Forrest
I finally accept that not only do I not understand the death of my relationship, but I do not need to. These men were good and kind to me, they loved me and I loved them back and the shock at the finish holds no wisdom. The revelation is not that I lost them, but that I had them.
Emma Forrest
I didn't know there was something really wrong, because everyone was crazy. It's just that everyone else was still functional. I didn't realize that I was any worse off.
Emma Forrest
This boy has negative charisma. He walks into a room and the oxygen starts to evaporate. I guess that's why girls sleep with him. They find his awfulness transfixing. He's like a lousy 1970's disaster movie that they can't bring themselves to turn off, even though it is making their life worse every minute they leave it on.
Emma Forrest
The truth is I have had, for whatever reason, several movie-star boyfriends.
Emma Forrest
My radar, after all these years of sanity, is still off when it comes to what people do or don't mean.
Emma Forrest
I think that's the function of a lot of psychiatrists and therapists, is keeping people afloat just long enough for them to get older.
Emma Forrest
Write a page every single day, even if what you put on the page that day is no good - it's the only way to get better.
Emma Forrest
He was a super shiny boy and I liked the shape of him. Under the blanket. In the shower. I liked his shadow on the street and his imprint on the sofa. I hated the smell of hair gel on his head, but I loved it on the pillow. I love the smell of losing someone.
Emma Forrest
I think a neurotic learns from their mistakes. A psychotic does not.
Emma Forrest
What people don't understand when you've already been a suicide and pulled through is that after the sadness comes fear: Where is my mind going with this? I don't want to die. I do not want to die. When you don't have so much control over your own thoughts, over the myriad voices in your head, you don't know where they could go.
Emma Forrest
I would say at the moment the only person who could have played me this past year would have to be Angelina Jolie.
Emma Forrest
It's as if he can no longer acknowledge the love he felt or the pain I am in. I have been dismissed. I don't think I was smarter or as beautiful as the other girls he did this to. It's just that I was me. It was all I had.
