“That's a parents' job, isn't it? To raise a child strong enough to leave and break our hearts?”

“A strong breeze is natures way of blowing away our sorrows.”

“We can understand the science of what makes a heart beat, but we can never stop it from breaking.”

“I had to work out that he was always going to break my heart as long as I was willing to let him in.”

“Sorry? Sorry? Sorry isn't enough. Every. Single. Thing. I ever loved is beyond my reach now. Everything I ever wanted. Everything I ever was.”

“I learned that life is so, so fragile. I learned that you can know someone for just days and never forget the impression he left on you. I learned that art can be beautiful and sad at the same time. I learned that if someone loves you, he'll wait for you to love him back. I learned that how much you want something doesn't determine whether you get it or not, that "no" might not be enough, that life isn't fair, that my parents can't save me, that maybe no one can.”

“It isn't up to me to break his heart; that's time's job.”
