Why are you leaving me?
He wrote, I do not know how to live.
I do not know either but I am trying.
I do not know how to try.
There were some things I wanted to tell him. But I knew they would hurt him.
So I buried them and let them hurt me.

“When you separate from someone, I think the real pain comes from not being able to love them anymore as much as you want to. You still want to be there for them. You want to witness all the important moments in their lives. You want to be the keeper of their secrets, their dreams, their heart aches, and their hidden imperfections. But when a relationship ends, it is no longer in your place to do so, and you wonder whether you loved enough. Regret lies in the things you don’t do, the things you don’t say.”

“If you’re entitled to hold an opinion, then we are thereby entitled to have an opinion about your opinion. It’s the same entitlement. If it’s universal then it can work against you.”

“I firmly believe if you want to be a guitar player, you better start on acoustic and then graduate to electric. Don’t think you’re going to be Townshend or Hendrix just because you can go wee wee wah wah, and all the electronic tricks of the trade. First you’ve got to know that fucker. And you go to bed with it. If there’s no babe around, you sleep with it. She’s just the right shape.”
