“There’s a reason I said I’d be happy alone. It wasn’t ‘cause I thought I’d be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It’s easier to be alone, because what if you learn that you need love and you don’t have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It’s like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It could go on forever.”
—Grey’s Anatomy (via eletheowl)
“The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.”
—Gloria Steinem (via definitelydope)
“I think people make mistakes and they’re going to disappoint you, especially the people who love you most. And if you can’t forgive them for not being perfect, you’re going to end up alone.”
—Leo Cruz - Make It Or Break It (via judy-q)
“You say that you love rain, but you open your umbrella when it rains. You say that you love the sun, but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines. You say that you love the wind, but you close your windows when wind blows. This is why I am afraid; You say that you love me too.”
—William Shakespeare (via astronautes)
“If someone betrays you once, it’s their fault; if they betray you twice, it’s your fault.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (via definitelydope)
“This is the problem with dealing with someone who is actually a good listener. They don’t jump in on your sentences, saving you from actually finishing them, or talk over you, allowing what you do manage to get out to be lost or altered in transit. Instead, they wait, so you have to keep going.”
—Sarah Dessen (Just Listen)
