Writing About Life Quotes

“Walking away from someone you love doesn’t break you— it changes you into someone else. With each step, you feel yourself losing something—forever.

Then, one day, I looked up upon the gray— it takes everything and then nothing, even if you offer them everything. You can’t survive it, you live with it— in small pieces, small steps, small moments.
