ترى أتقر بخيانتك ولو بينك وبين نفسك، أم خدعتها كما تحاول خداع الآخرين؟ ألا يستيقظ ضميرك ولو في الظلام؟ أود أن أنفذ إلى ذاتك كما نفذت إلى بيت التحف والمرايا بيتك، ولكني لن أجد إلا الخيانة.

نجيب محفوظ ـ اللص والكلاب

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.

-Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“There is something so sad about realising that you’ve been backstabbed long before the end, about the fact that you opened your heart to them while they were actively hurting you. It’s like it was all a hallucination, nothing was real but the ending, everything else was you.”

“One of the hardest lessons in life is letting go. Whether it’s guilt, anger, love, loss or betrayal. Change is never easy. We fight to hold on and we fight to let go.”

maybe life is all about waking up every day and trying to learn how to appreciate the beauty of the world without allowing the ugliness of everything that has happened to me in the past to interfere with it

i am a different person than who i was last year. my hair is longer and i cry less and i am stronger. i am a different person than who i was six months ago. i am free and different and am embracing change. i am a different person than who i was a month ago. i sit in the sunlight without worry and i don’t let things stick and i look up and smile. i am a different person than who i was last week. i explore more and look at the sky and laugh more. i am a different person than who i was yesterday. i let go and breathe. i am whole.

Forgiveness is a lover I crawl into bed with nightly, even when I know I shouldn’t.
