You & I, Rewritten

Grief never ends, but it changes. It is a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign or weakness nor a lack of faith, it is the price of love.

just try to remember that forgiveness is for us…not for the person who needs forgiving.

The hardest part wasn't acknowleding that she never chose me, [...]. The hardest part was accepting that this moment - the one that I'd been dreading my entire life - was definitively and heartbreakingly never about me.

You know I am an emotional junkie, girl... my bleeding heart lives for stuff like this!

I think it's foolish to think the pain of a writer's past doesn't inadvertently find itself woven within the heart of their work.

I don't know why I get like this sometimes... where the little things become overwhelming, and the big things become insurmountable.

[...]there are these times in my life when it's difficult for me to separate logic from emotion. My brain and my heart battle each other sometimes. As much as I hate that it happens, my emotions overpower any sort of logic in those moments. And well... you were on the receiving end of what that looks like. My insecurities skyrocket, my self-doubt explodes, and I'm left questioning anything and everything.

[...] I've realized that hardly anything worth doing, and doing right, is comfortable.

It may not even be possible for you - but just try to remember that forgivness is for us... not for the person who needs forgiving.
