I want us to recognize this darkness in one another, to love it and appreciate it.

You begin to prefer your own company rather than go out. Once you live by yourself, you become very comfortable being alone.

I don’t have these ridiculously high expectations for marriage. I’ll never go into it thinking, “I’m NEVER getting divorced. That’s not an option!” I know it’s a reality, and that no matter how well it may begin, it could happen.

It doesn’t feel like a time of celebration, but a time of mourning.

Atonement by Ian McEwan: This is one of my favorite books. It’s probably one of the most heartbreaking love stories ever written.

As a hopeless romantic who was born in the wrong century and knows I’ll never receive one of these, I’ve compiled some of the best quotes from love letters throughout history.

I’m embracing the chaos, the uncertainty, the unknown. If you don’t, if you have high expectations for your future, nothing will ever be good enough.

I’m happy, I’m positive, I’m optimistic, and I’m depressed.

Desensitize yourself to them.

We’re all stressed. We have stressful jobs, stressful relationships, stressful bills, commutes, loans, expectations for ourselves and others.

There are always those who immediately manage to move on and find another GF/BF right after a break-up.
