“When did creating a flawless facade become a more vital goal than learning to love the person who lives inside your skin?”

“You can’t walk away from someone you love, leave them drowning in your desertion. If love has no more meaning than that, you can keep it. I don’t want it now or ever again. Don’t want to hear the word or wear its scars.”
