“If someone is your everything, the only guarantee you have is that they’ll one day be your nothing. For a little while, at least. Until the dust settles, until they stop caring so much about you which is its own death in a way. Sometimes hating someone is your way of keeping them alive. It brings you comfort. It indicates a passion of a different kind. What’s your limit? When do you stop loving and running? There must be an end to all of it. There must be a point where your own heart stops betraying you. Meet someone, love someone, leave someone. Feel things, stop feeling them. Screw or get screwed.Tell someone your darkest secrets and then learn to hide everything from them. Have your protector become someone you need to be protected from. Fall in and out of love. Rinse and repeat. Remember all of the highs and lows and surround yourself with the memories. They serve as reminders that you were once loved. They remind you, good or bad, that you’re worth loving.”
