Quote by Sarah May

“It never matters how we begin. Only that we do. The only thing that matters is that we have the courage to embark on the journey ahead, to the places our hearts call us to go. Even if it means wounding another to be true to ourselves. The most painful of endings can be the most beautiful of beginnings. Sometimes heartbreak is actually a homecoming. Sometimes we have to ask what we would want for the people we love to discover what we also deserve. Sometimes we have to follow our hearts, wherever they lead, regardless of the cost.”

“And this is pain? I think this is pain? I survived my mother leaving me when I was five. I survived the death of the woman who filled her place when I was nine. After all of that, after everything I’ve been through, this is what brings me down? This is what knocks me to my knees? I deserve it, then. I deserve every part of it because if I can’t survive this, then I can’t survive anything.”

“It is hard to believe, feeling as you do at the moment, that there will come a time when life seems good and worthwhile, but it will come.” “No, Custodian. I don’t think it will. Because I wouldn’t want to be the person who had felt as I do now and then walked—or drifted—away from that feeling until things felt better. That is precisely my problem. I prefer the idea of death to what I feel just now, but I would prefer to feel the way I do now forever than to feel better, because feeling better would mean that I am not the one who loved her anymore, and I could not bear that.”
