It’s never a question if we will take life seriously; it’s only ever a question of when.

385

Your emotions are not a delusion; they are a reminder that you are alive.

384

You know exactly what to do, and exactly who you should be.

All that’s left is to do it. And to keep going.

Stop distracting yourself.

383

All this chaos that perturbs the heart and torments the mind in this very moment—embrace it; let it tear you away from your complacency, and let it help you realize that you've been distracting yourself from your calling.

382

It is the most peculiar form of misery: to have all these feelings for you while also simultaneously being hyper-aware of these emotions, and yet be completely powerless to extricate them from my heart. And so I am forced to merely sit here—to haplessly endure this tragic spectacle, to watch this love, second by second, fragment by fragment, ever painfully slowly dissipating and drifting away into an endless, cold, raging sea, lost to the raging currents of time and circumstance. Because if I wish to not humiliate myself and not cause pain to others, moving on is the only right thing to do.

381

Love itself is never enough.

But love and fate in tandem? There is no such force in the universe that is quite as potent, momentous, and beautiful as this.

380

There are only two purposes of the past—to reminisce and to learn from.

If learning from it induces emotional anguish, then so be it. But if you find yourself in emotional anguish in the absence of new insight, remember that there is no greater waste of your life than this.

"But if I did have a choice, would I still choose to feel this way?"

378

“But you—you just know. You just do.”

377

There’s always something more important to be done.

But it’s not always the right time to do it.
