“There’s no magical healing in this. I won’t wake up tomorrow fixed and joyful. I’ll still hurt and grieve. But moments like this, with Colton? They make it all bearable. He doesn't fix me, doesn't heal me. He just makes life worthwhile. He helps me remember to breathe, shows me how to smile again. He kisses me, and I can forget pain, forget the urges I still have to cut for the pain that erases the emotions.” LifePainHurtForgetCuttingSweetReliefUrgesEscapeFallingSelf HarmBearableFixGrieveColtonFalling Into YouJasinda WilderNellSiCutter Book:Falling Into You Source: Falling Into You
“It’s not okay,” I tell her. This gets her attention; it’s not what she was expecting. “You don’t have to be okay.” “What do you want from me?” Her voice is ragged, desperate. “I want you to let yourself be broken. Let yourself hurt.” She shakes her head again. “I can’t. If I let it out, it’ll never stop.” “Yes, it will.” PainFearHurtGriefSadnessBrokenOkayDesperateFallingHurtingColtonFalling Into YouJasinda WilderNellSuffereing Book:Falling Into You Source: Falling Into You
“You can’t hold it in forever,” Colton said, apropos of nothing. “Yes, I can.” I had to. “You’ll go crazy. It’ll come out, one way or another.” “Better crazy than broken.” I wasn't sure where that came from, hadn't thought it or meant to say it. “You’re not broken.

“I did answer. I said a little. I'm afraid of what you can do. I mean, I feel safe with you, though. I know you’d never hurt me.” I take her face in my hands. It’s too familiar, too affectionate, too soon. I can’t help it, though. “Just the opposite. I will protect you. From others and from yourself. Always.” “Why?” Barely audible. “Because I want to. Because…” I struggle to find the right words. “Because you deserve it, and you need it.” “No, I don’t.” HurtSafeAfraidFallingColtonFalling Into YouJasinda WilderNell Book:Falling Into You Source: Falling Into You
“You don't ever really let go, though. You don't stop. You don't stop hurting, you don't stop loving. It doesn't go away, you just keep living and eventually things get pushed into the background of your life so it's not consuming you every day. It still hurts, you still miss that person. And then one day you know you're okay.” KnowsPersonsStillsHurtMissingOne DayLetting GoOkayBackgroundsGoing AwayConsumingHurting YouIt Still Hurts Author:Jasinda Wilder
