“I felt guilty about doing what I needed to. Guilty about looking after my own best interests above someone else’s. I forgot that wanting out didn’t require certain reasons, or a vote, or agreement, or the other person being okay about it. It was simply enough to want out.”

“If you hold back on the emotions—if you don’t allow yourself to go all the way through them—you can never get to being detached, you’re too busy being afraid. You’re afraid of the pain, you’re afraid of the grief. You’re afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your heart even, you experience them fully and completely.”
—Mitch Albom (via creatingaquietmind)
