OF GOODBYES AND HEARTBREAK - 03-28-2010

“I’ve had to say goodbye more times than I would’ve liked. But, everyone can say that. And no matter how many times we do it, even when it’s for the greater good..it still stinks. And though we’ll never forget what we’ve given up, we owe to ourselves to keep moving forward. What we can’t do is..living our lives always afraid for the next goodbye. Because, chances are..they’re not going to stop. The trick is to recognize when a goodbye can be a good thing; when it’s a chance to start again.” — Betty Suarez on Ugly Betty

“At some point you will realize that you have done too much for someone or something, that the only next possible step to do is to stop. Leave them alone. Walk away. It’s not like you’re giving up, and it’s not like you shouldn’t try. It’s just that you have to draw the line of determination from desperation. What is truly yours would eventually be yours, and what is not, no matter how hard you try, will never be.”

“It always fascinated me how people go from loving you madly to nothing at all, nothing. It hurts so much. When I feel someone is going to leave me, I have a tendency to break up first before I get to hear the whole thing. Here it is. One more, one less. Another wasted love story. I really love this one. When I think that its over, that I’ll never see him again like this… well yes, I’ll bump into him, we’ll meet our new boyfriend and girlfriend, act as if we had never been together, then we’ll slowly think of each other less and less until we forget each other completely. Almost. Always the same for me. Break up, break down. Drink up, fool around. Meet one guy, then another, fuck around. Forget the one and only. Then after a few months of total emptiness start again to look for true love, desperately look everywhere and after two years of loneliness meet a new love and swear it is the one, until that one is gone as well. There’s a moment in life where you can’t recover any more from another break-up. And even if this person bugs you sixty percent of the time, well you still can’t live without him. And even if he wakes you up every day by sneezing right in your face, well you love his sneezes more than anyone else’s kisses.”



“Sometimes, you have to be apart from people you love. But it doesn’t mean you love them any less. Sometimes, it even makes you love them more.” — The Last Song

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.” — Helen Keller

“You can’t live your life for other people. You’ve got to do what’s right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.” — Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook)

“Because even though your world has been turned upside-down, you still manage to smile way more than you frown. Because even though things didn’t exactly work out between us all those years ago, I somehow knew there would always be room for me in that great big heart of yours.” — Jen, Dawson’s Creek
