❝ We both become monsters when we lose. ❞

❝ We both check Twitter for our news. ❞

❝ We both recycle purely out of guilt. ❞

❝ I tried so hard to separate who you are from who you were. ❞

❝ It’s our word against his. ❞

❝ I hid screw-ups from my father, made up school awards to please my mom. ❞

❝ Can I pet your dog? ❞

❝ This isn't my dog, actually. It's my friend's dog, Sheila. I'm taking care of her while he's away. She's on a lot of medication. ❞

❝ It felt like my life, but a better version. ❞ 

❝ With you in my life, I was a better person. ❞ 

❝ For the first time I was in love. ❞ 

❝ I loved who I was with you. ❞ 

❝ My parents finally tracked me down after years of jumping from town to town. ❞ 

❝ They say before you die, your whole life flashes before your very eyes. Well, it didn't the first time. ❞ 

❝ I tried to cling to the life I'd made together with you. ❞ 

❝ I wanted to keep my life, but the better version. ❞

❝ Only you can be the one to say "I'm done" and walk away. ❞

❝ I'm leaving now. I'm putting one foot in front of the other now. ❞

❝ I deserve to let you go and build a better version on my own. ❞

❝ I'm not looking for forgiveness. ❞

❝ I'm only giving you what you are owed. ❞

❝ All that's left now is to hit "send" and the weight of the choice will be gone. ❞

❝ Is it weird that I am writing my ex-wife out of the blue? ❞

❝ This love affair ends with a 3-page PDF in 2017. How absurd . ❞

❝ Here's to never looking back. ❞

❝ Okay, it's over... Oh my God, it's really over . ❞

❝ The truth is hard to explain. ❞

❝ The truth can shift and change. ❞

❝ The truth is all about you and your honest point of view. ❞

❝ What’s true for you doesn’t have to be true forever. ❞

❝ Sometimes the truth isn’t always for the better. ❞

❝ The truth is, the truth doesn’t exist in black and white. And sometimes two sides can both be right. ❞

❝ The truth is that you will never really know the truth. ❞
