“He gave me that night back and this time, I told you the truth. We talked and held each other till the sun came up. And as I went to hell, the devil asked me if it was worth it. I said yes. Yes it was.”

“…I have this strange feeling that I’m not myself anymore. It’s hard to put into words, but I guess it’s like I was fast asleep, and someone came, disassembled me, and hurriedly put me back together again. That sort of feeling.”

“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.”

best advice i’ve ever gotten: insecure people follow every fashion, cultural, and musical trend out there. a good measurement of your security is based on how much you lead versus how much you follow. followers become followers so they don’t suffer the consequences of judgement and failure. leaders don’t care.

“Can’t Go Back Now” by The Weepies
Yesterday when you were young
Everything you needed done was done for you
Now you do it on your own
But you find you’re all alone, what can you do?You and me walk on, walk on, walk on
‘Cause you can’t go back nowYou know there will be days
When you’re so tired
That you can’t take another step
The night will have no stars
And you’ll think you’ve gone as far
As you will ever get
“Change is never easy. You fight to hold on. You fight to let go.”

“People have scars. In all sorts of unexpected places. Like secret roadmaps of their personal histories. Diagrams of all their old wounds. Most of our wounds heal, leaving nothing behind but a scar. But some of them don’t. Some wounds we carry with us everywhere and though the cut’s long gone, the pain still lingers.”
—Dr. Meredith Grey, narrating (Grey’s Anatomy)
“Just for the record, she still loves you. She wouldn’t bother to torture you if she didn’t.”

“Kill the Messenger” by Jack’s Mannequin
Kill the messenger
I swear it’s not me
It’s just someone I used to know
And get to church cause you’re a good girl
And he never told you that
And all I need from you
Could be the thing that
Leaves us both up here forever
I’m gonna send a little rain your way
I’m gonna send a little rain, send a little rain
I’m gonna send a little rain to pour down on you
Rain that makes the flowers bloom
Rain to leave you all alone
That keeps eyelashes falling
And wishes washed away
