"No person has the right to condemn you on how you repair your heart...
Because no one knows how much you're hurting."

-Grey's Anatomy

Sometimes, no matter how hard you treasure someone, s/he'll never treasure you back the way you do. And sometimes..
you have to shut up and be okay.

The most simple advice to those who are still broken:

" Just live and breathe... and try not to die again."

"Sometimes I hope we're still friends when I get married. I hope that I'll invite you to the wedding and you'll come. Then you'll see me as the happiest girl in the world. You'll see me with a guy that treats me right and loves me more than himself. You'll see all that you could've had and you'll regret letting me go. But the thing that I want you to see the most is that I survived without you."

"I wish he meant it when he kissed me, because then I could look back and remember someone who loved me. Now I can only look back and realize someone used me."

"What if I said that you never mattered? That I never lost one moment of sleep? What if I crushed all your dreams? Broke all the promises you swore to keep? Tell me how your life would be, if I did what you did to me."

Someone asked me once, " Would you have still tried even if you knew it wouldn't work?"

I said: "It's like this... championship game. 2 secs left on the clock. My team is down by one. I have the ball and I'm open for a jumpshot. Should I take the shot or not? If I make it, we win and celebrate. If I didn't, we lose and we go home crying. I guess I'll still take that shot. And in case I miss the shot, I'd still cry... but it feels a lot less painful knowing that at least I tried."

"I didn't cry as much as I thought I would, I wasn't as lost as I thought I'd be. In fact, now, I feel strangely free, just to be me!"

"I was the one who said things changed. You were the one to prove it."

"I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it. I never said there wouldn't be tears, I just promised to be there if there was. I never said it would be true love, I only said you'd know if it was. I never promised it would be forever, I only said to love unconditionally and generously with no recognition of time. I never said to hold on at all costs, I only said one day you'd have to let go and be free. I never said you'd get the rainbow without getting through the rain, I only said the sun is always brighter than the storm. I never said you wouldn't cry, or feel like your heart had died. I never said you wouldn't change inside. And if I had, I'd have lied."

"That's the thing with teenagers. They think all their parents want to do is keep them from having fun, when they're really only trying to save them from broken hearts."

"Of course you're gonna get your heart broken. And it isn't just gonna happen once, but a lot. That's just part of growing up, and it makes you stronger. Then you can handle it better the next time. You may not get through it yourself, but your friends will help you through it. And you'll be a stronger person because of it. Then, one day, someone will come along, and it'll all pay off, and no one will ever break your heart again."

"You did it again. You broke my heart again. You promised you wouldn't do that. Promised you'd always be here for me. Promised you'd never hurt me. And I trusted you. Again. I was really stupid wasn't I?" - Jacqueline Kelly

"Everyone told me it wouldn't last, that one day we would go our own separate ways. I didn't listen. They told me I would only get hurt and I shouldn't stay.. I still didn't listen. But now, as our relationship is ending, I really wish that I would of listened to my friends, because if I did, I wouldn't be hurting like I am now."
