Love & Death.

The only thing love relies on for survival is respect.

You don’t love him. You’re still here not because you are too weak to leave but because you are too strong to leave. You put up with this sht because you know it is not about you. It’s not about your safety. You do it for your brother. Everything you do, you do it for other people. Not many people have that kind of courage and strength, Sloan. It’s fucking inspiring.

You’ll never be able to find yourself if you’re lost in someone else.

If you only shine light on your flaws, all your perfects will dim.

When you meet someone who is good for you, they won’t fill you with insecurities by focusing on your flaws. They’ll fill you with inspiration, because they’ll focus on all the best parts of you.

Our marriage hasn’t been perfect. No marriage is perfect. There were times when she gave up on us. There were even times when I gave up on us. The secret to our longevity is that we never gave up at the same time.

There’s more than one way people show love. And even though his way and my way are completely opposite, it’s still love.

Death

Sometimes cancer is cured…sometimes it isn’t. Sometimes people hit their heads and die, most of the time they hit their head and survive. And any time you hear of a person beating the odds… that’s all they’re doing. Beating the odds.

Because people never really think about how, in order to beat the odds, a lot of unfortunate deaths have to occur for that particular survival to be considered “out of the norm”.

Maybe Drew’s death hardened me to the idea of miracles but in my mind, you either survive or you don’t. The journey from breadth to death has nothing to do with miracles, how much you pray, coincidences or divine intervention.

Sometimes a person’s journey from breadth to death isn’t always part of a master plan. Sometimes the only thing that separates your last breadth from your death is a mere six centimeters.

Miracles don’t exist.

In order to miss someone, that means you were privileged enough to have them in your life to begin with.
