“You can try and hold me back. Build your damn walls, pack sandbags along the edges and yell at the clouds and the rain and the sky to stop. But i will not relent. I will reach you. Because i am the sea. And i will continue to love you no matter what.”

“No matter how you stack me. No matter how you arrange me. No matter how you look at me. I am still here and i am still the same person made of the same things. I regret nothing.”

“And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling "This is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!"And each day, it's up to you, to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say "No. This is what's important.”

“You cannot go back in time, even if you wish it with every fiber of your being, your heart and soul, even if you think about it every day. Trust me. I know.”

“And you taught me what this feels like.And then how it feels to lose it.And you showed me who I wanted.And then who I wasn’t.And you ticked every box.And then drew a line.And you weren’t mine to begin with.And then not to end with.And you looked like everything I wanted.And then became something I hated.And you get thought of every day.And then not in a good way.And you let me leave.And then wish I’d stayed.And you almost killed me.But I didn’t die.”

“I have told myself you are not allowed to hurt me anymore. That's what hurts the most.”

“After you're gone, people will forget your name, no matter how important it was, and your face, no matter how pretty it was, and what you said, no matter how clever any of it sounded.The things you've done will crumble and fade and the places you once loved, will change and be given new names.You are only here for one moment and it lasts exactly one lifetime.”
