Sometimes we feel complete, like we’ve found a place to stand; other times we just, we feel lost.. lonely.. like something is missing. Me? I feel like something is missing, but I’ll put on my smile and I’ll do my job. I’ll laugh and be okay. Because well.. that’s what we do isn’t it?

-Arminda Meer

The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - that you’d thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you’ve never met, maybe even someone long dead. And it’s as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.

It was kind of like automatic pilot; I just shut down and retreated, my brain clicking off before anything that hurt could sink in. ”

— Sarah Dessen, Keeping the Moon

Alone isn't always lonely.
Just sometimes.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that when one part of your life starts going okay, another falls spectacularly to pieces.

If it takes away the pain, its alright.

I'd like to stay a secret, like walking in the dark. If no one knows you, no one cares, so no one breaks your heart.
