“Sometimes people don’t understand the promises they’re making when they make them,”
“Right, of course.But you keep the promise anyway. That’s what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway. Don’t you believe in true love?”
We all romanticize the people we adore.
“Before I got here, I thought for a long time that the way out of the labyrinth was to pretend that it did not exist, to build a small, self-sufficient world in the back corner of the endless maze and to pretend that I was not lost, but home.”
The good times and the bad times both will pass. It will pass. It will get easier. But the fact that it will get easier does not mean that it doesn’t hurt now. And when people try to minimize your pain they are doing you a disservice. And when you try to minimize your own pain you’re doing yourself a disservice. Don’t do that. The truth is that it hurts because it’s real. It hurts because it mattered. And that’s an important thing to acknowledge to yourself. But that doesn’t mean that it won’t end, that it won’t get better. Because it will.
I get it now. I get it. The things you hope for the most are the things that destroy you in the end.
- Will Grayson (John Green and David Levithan)
