Quote by Allyson S. Barkley

“Whatever she decides, whatever she does, it cannot sway your own resolutions. You have sacrificed something great for this girl – or for whatever she means to you – but do not let that change what you believe. It is visible in her eyes that she wavers, but do not think that the past binds you to any certain future.”

Baggage, they called it, because you carry it with you wherever you go. Some bags were heavier than others. Too heavy. Most eventually broke under the enormous strain, succumbed to the inevitable and just burned out. Or ended things in the only way they knew for sure was permanent, removed any variables in favour of a dead cert, you might say. Humans are frail creatures.”
