and it hits you
that she is an entire ocean
and you were wrong,
so very wrong,
because you let her go
thinking she was just a girl.”

“I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.”

“The cost is self-destruction in the process. The cost is you hurting me to get there.

I can't sit here and wait for the respect I deserved this whole time. I can't sit here and wait to be loved, when I'm giving the best of myself. I can't sit here playing a game. It’s like a game of Jumanji. Either something is going to kill me along the way, or I’ll finish.

I don't have it in me to finish. And honestly, I think right now I'm living only half alive because of you. Cause you've chewed up and spit out everything I am. And I'm not the same person that I was before I fell in love with you.”

“Not all toxic people are cruel and uncaring. Some of them love us dearly. Many of them have good intentions. Most are simply toxic to our being simply because their needs and way of existing force us to compromise ourselves and our happiness. They aren't inherently bad people, but they aren't the right people for us.”
