“Have you ever felt that there was something going on in life that not everyone was aware of?”

“I can't think again. Not ever again. I don't know if you've ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that.”

“Have you ever felt despair? Absolute hopelessness? Have you ever stood in the darkness and known, deep in your heart, in your spirit, that it was never, ever going to get better? That something had been lost, forever, and that it wasn't coming back?”

“Not everything is going to go my way and not everyone gets a happily ever after. Life is real and sometimes it’s ugly and you just have to learn how to cope.”

“Standing there. watching her go, I felt lonelier than I have ever been in my life.”

“Everyone tried with me. And everytime, it felt like the whole point of life was to see if trying was ever enough.”
