“Sometimes it all becomes too much. Your body and mind will just give way. Part of you may want to blissfully fade into nothing, but you never do. After a while all the memories and emotions make you shut down but never fully disappear—it’s safer for you this way, to be excluded. It’s a time to be alone, to heal, and to find yourself. It doesn’t mean you’ve given up or stopped trying; it just means you know what’s best for you. Breathing is medicine. I forgot how to breathe, but I’m learning all over again.” LifeHappinessFearMemoriesSadSafeEssenceMedicineBreathing Book:Essence Source: Essence
“Because it isn’t a loss; just a little piece of their haven had broken off. People can patch things; it still may hurt, but that’s life.” HappinessDeathLossGoneSadEssenceHaven Book:Essence Source: Essence
“Reality is knowing that you will get hurt. That there’s no stopping it, but you still try. Even after you’re hurt, you first want to suffer through it, for some reason thinking the afflictions will help. You find out later that the remedy is time. Time supposedly heals everything. How can you know though? Is it when you forget or when it doesn’t hurt to think about it anymore?” RealityHurtSad Book:Essence Source: Essence
