“As long as I don’t give you a reason to love me, you shouldn’t.”

“Fall in love for as long as you can with the one who sees you when you are invisible.”

“I don’t need to tell her I love her, but I do it anyway.”

“Once a year I need to hear you tell me how proud you are of me for growing a little more.”

“When I told the therapist that the “me” that I am now is the best me I can be, I was truthful. I’ve always given you my best, so when you say it's not enough, it chips away at the “best me.”

“i wasn't born mediocre, i won't achieve mediocrity, and i will not let anyone put it on me. i will kill you.”

“Tell me what you’re looking for and i will become that for you. I can sacrifice my inner freedoms for you without looking twice at my old journals and solid promises I made to myself about such things. But you must be prepared to kill me when the smiles are no longer frequent. Do it while I sleep. While I hold your hand. Do it fast, baby. Do it fast.”
