Grieved Quotes

“You grieve at first. And then slowly, with the yawning of the years, the disappeared gets scraped from your memory, the way your flesh can be peeled from your limbs. It's very harsh and extremely painful. But it gets done, square inch-by-square inch. Until, the skin that is your memory gets completely scarred and numbed. You live. The disappeared is detached from the dermis of remembering. And that is what is known as moving on.”

“It didn’t seem to matter how many boundaries I’d put in place or how much I’d grown in self-discipline. As I found myself acting in a way that grieved me to watch, I had to admit that I wouldn’t be doing this if part of me didn’t want it. The very fact I was doing it showed this is what I really wanted. How could I both hate something and want something at the same time?”
