agonizing over all the time you wasted or lost is useless. it’s gone now. you survived in the only way you knew how. doesn’t your survival deserve some recognition too?

I hate breaking hearts, but it's something I absolutely have to do most of the times

Childhood does not end in one fell swoop, as we wished it would when we were children. It lingers, crouching silently in our adult, then wizened bodies, until one day, many years later, when we think that the heavy burden of bitterness and despair we've been shouldering has turned us irredeemably into adults, it reappears with the force and speed of a lightning bolt, wounding us with its freshness, its innocence, its unerring dose of naivety, but most all with the certainty that this really and truly is the last glimpse we shall have of it.

Guadalupe Nettel, from The Accidentals (tr. Rosalind Harvey)

When I woke this morning in the dark, humid bedroom, hearing the rain beating down on all sides, it seemed to me I was cured.

Five years since I lost my grandmother. There's no loss I'll feel greater than hers

To be in a heartbreaking situation, and to have well-wishers to advice and help deal with the loss is truly a blessing not to be taken for granted ❤️‍🩹
