“Sometimes by holding onto what you love the most — you end up choking the very life from the thing you want to keep on living. It’s possible to try too hard, to love something so deeply that you lose yourself. The danger is never in loving someone — but losing your identity in the process. Because what happens when tragedy strikes? You’re left an empty shell. You’re left with nothing.” TragedyStrikesEmpty ShellNothing LeftHolding SomeoneLosing Identity Book:Toxic Source: Toxic
