And if I have learnt anything about love in my short, nineteen years of life;
I’ve learnt that when someone seems perfect, then they are not. When you fall in love, your heart breaks. When you put your trust in someone, they let you down.So why do I keep giving myself to love if I just hurt more and more each time?

So I shall allow myself to hurt again, Again And again.
We feed it with pain. Pain is the closest feeling to love, Because, love hurts.

Live your Life. Live your Life. Live your Life.

I have nothing now but praise for my life. I’m not unhappy. I cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can’t stop them.

You know who my gods are, who I believe in fervently? Herman Melville, Emily Dickinson — she’s probably the top — Mozart, Shakespeare, Keats. These are wonderful gods who have gotten me through the narrow straits of life.
What we learned today: the actual Wild Things were based on Maurice Sendak’s terrifying-but-loving relatives. We all have Wild Things!
Someday you’ll find the right person, and you’ll learn to have a lot more confidence in yourself. That’s what I think. So don’t settle for anything less. In this world, there are things you can only do alone, and things you can only do with somebody else. It’s important to combine the two in just the right amount.

The truth will set you free—but not until it’s done with you.
