In a strange way I had fallen in love with my depression. Dr. Sterling was right about that. I loved it because I thought it was all I had. I thought depression was the part of my character that made me worthwhile. I thought so little of myself felt that I had such scant offerings to give to the world that the one thing that justified my existence at all was my agony.

Just for future reference dont use words like love anymore. Its a very sensitive word and it wears out quickly. Romeo barely says it but John Hinckley filled up a whole journal with it. To put it into your terms its a currency thats easily devalued. Pretty soon youre saying it whenever you hang up the phone or whenever you leave. It turns into an apology. Then its an excuse. Some assholes want it to be a bulletproof vest dont hate me I love you. But mostly it just means--more. More more--give me something more. A couple of years from now when youre on your own completely if you really fall in love if it really comes to that--and I pity you if it does--you have to look right down into the black of her eyes right down into the emptiness in there and feel everything absolutely everything she needs and you have to be willing to drown in it Kevin. Youd have to want to be crushed buried alive. Because thats what real love feels like--choking. They used to bury some women in their wedding dresses you know. I thought it was because all those husbands were too cheap to spring for another gown but now it makes sense love is your first foot in the grave. Thats why the second most abused word is forever.

Dance. Smile. Giggle. Marvel. TRUST. HOPE. LOVE. WISH. BELIEVE. Most of all enjoy every moment of the journey and appreciate where you are at this moment instead of always focusing on how far you have to go.

How would your life be different ifYou approached all relationships with authenticity and honesty Let today be the dayYou dedicate yourself to building relationships on the solid foundation of truth and authenticity.

You know whats a great metaphor for love Sleeping beauty. Because you have to plow through this incredible thicket of thorns in order to get to beauty and even then when you get there you still have to wake her up. Tiny Cooper

Herondales. Zachariahs voice was a breath half laughter half pain. I had almost forgotten. No other family does so much for love or feels so much guilt for it. Dont carry the weight of the world on you Jace. Its too heavy for even a Herondale to bear.

I thought I was going to sweat five years before Id feel like this.I wanted it as much as you did. Ive just got a hell of a poker face I smiled pressing my lips against his.

When you say I and my too much you lose the capacity to understand the we and our.

Lo que mucha gente llama amar consiste en elegir una mujer y casarse con ella. La eligen te lo juro los he visto. Como si se pudiera elegir en el amor como si no fuera un rayo que te parte los huesos y te deja estaqueado en la mitad del patio. Vos dirs que la eligen porque-la-aman yo creo que es al vesre. A Beatriz no se la elige a Julieta no se la elige. Vos no elegs la lluvia que te va a calar hasta los huesos cuando sals de un concierto.

Perhaps all romance is like that not a contract between equal parties but an explosion of dreams and desires that can find no outlet in everyday life. Only a drama will do and while the fireworks last the sky is a different colour.
