“It's what everyone wants when they're breaking someone's heart: to be rid of the person and yet absolved of guilt, of the unhappiness they've caused.

To never be haunted again.” HeartbreakBreakup Book:The Angel Riots Source: The Angel Riots

This is why people always want a second opinion.” PeopleKnowsWantMindPersonsDifferentSometimesBodyPainLawPleasureOpinionDeedsMissionsGuidesReactionsChainsMisleadBarometerChain ReactionsMislead Us Author:Ibi Kaslik
“Heart lesson #3: post-heartbreak survival. The heart is resilient, I mean literally. When a body is burned, the heart is the last organ to oxidize.

Solid, inflammable.” HeartMeanBodyLastsHoursPerfectLessonsSurvivalDearPostsFlamesOrgansBurnedAshesSheetsResilientCampfireDear Sister Author:Ibi Kaslik
