Take Me There

Even in a bad situation, there's always a positive side. Even if you can't see it yet.

She's not going to let go until she sees for herself that there's nothing left to hold on to.

Because if you take a risk, you just might find what you're looking for.

Walks are never as good during the day. At night, when everyone's apartments are lit up and you can see inside, that's where the action is. Everything about this fascinates me. Windows, lampposts, building facades. Looking into other people's lives. The way it all comes together, this entity greater than the sum of its parts. I feel inspired. I'm excited about my future life.

Because I still love him. You can't just turn love off. You still feel it.

In what twisted universe would a girl who's just been dumped still want to be friends with the boy who dumped her?

That's the cool thing about having a best friend. They know what your pain feels like already, so you don't have to explain it.

But the absolute worst was when people asked if I was okay. Because then I had to admit that it was real, it happened, and we weren't together anymore.

But if your boyfriend, out of nowhere and with no advance warning whatsoever, dumps you for no apparent reason, is it really about you? Or is it all him?

No one can save me except myself.

I still love him. And here's the worst part. I want him back. - Ree

And I just think that if you believe in something and you want it so much and you're not hurting anyone else, you have to go for it. Which sometimes means taking a risk, even if it's scary. But the thing you want most to happen doesn't stand a chance unless you give it one.

No one is worth wasting a gorgeous weekend over.

Because my life isn't going to wait around while I figure out how to make it work.

Just because a person chooses to express themselves in an extreme way doesn't mean they have an extreme personality.

I want revenge, but I don't want to screw up my karma.

I thought following a straight road would lead me right to my destination. Like the road would just take me there because I was following all the rules. And if the road curved, I couldn't be sure about where I was going. But look where it got me. Maybe it's time for a detour.

Somewhere underneath it all, I know he doesn't deserve to take up space in my brain.

...I realize that I have to put myself out there to get what I want.

You'll get through this. And I know it's impossible to believe right now, but it gets better. Trust me.

I have to get my life back on track. Order as an antidote to chaos. Calm after the storm.

Everyone always says how I'm so smart, but they don't know what it's like being me. always feeling like you could do better.

I hate days like this. Like when minor thing happens but it gets all huge in your head and ends up bothering you for the whole rest of the day.

You have to be a responsible adult and support yourself because no one else is going to do it for you.

I also got the impression that having a lot of money can turn a decent person into an asshole.

He has to wair for another load of laundry to get done. So I wait with him. I lean back against the couch, sitting really low the way I like. I scrunch over and put my head on his shoulder. We sit like that for a long time. Watching other people's laundry dry. <3

And yeah, it got better. My stomach eventually went back to normal. I didn’t cry every day. But my heart. My heart will always be broken.
