Stab the body and it heals, but injure the heart and the wound lasts a lifetime.
Mineko Iwasaki
“It was a privilege to love you, and it was a privilege to let you go. Both helped shape me into the person I have become.”
— Beau Taplin
It's like I'm trying to silence the loudest love and it's a fucking tragedy.
Chloe Frayne
“Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.”
— Victor Hugo
“No me gusta vivir de vanas esperanzas, ni de ingenuas ilusiones. Abrazar demasiado lo que aun no llega, es prepararse el terreno para recibir el golpe duro de la vida que tarde o temprano llega. Prefiero abrazar la realidad tal cual es, aunque me parta el alma, aunque me reviente las entrañas, porque al fin y a cabo la verdad libera… y liberarse duele.”
— Firthunands
“One heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. They are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds. Pain linked to pain, fragility to fragility. There is no silence without a cry of grief, no forgiveness without bloodshed, no acceptance without a passage through acute loss. That is what lies at the root of true harmony.”
— Haruki Murakami
Life is about choices. Some we regret, some we're proud of. Some will haunt us forever. The message: we are what we chose to be.
Graham Brown
