Knowing exactly what you want in life comes with a price, and you need to be ready for its consequences. You have to be ready to be told you’re stubborn or selfish. You have to be ready to be told you’re wrong. You have to be ready to travel alone. You have to be ready to be deeply misunderstood. But you also have to be ready to remind yourself all these things are ok. You do not have to accept what you get, when it’s not good enough. Because you know what you really want, and it’s none of the above.

❝ I’m not really sure why. But… do you stop loving someone just because they betray you? I don’t think so. That’s what makes the betrayal hurt so much - pain, frustration, anger… and I still loved her. I still do.

A few times in my life I’ve had moments of absolute clarity when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp. And the world seems so fresh as though it had all just come into existence. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments.

Sometimes not telling people anything is a good thing.
