I DIDN’T LEAVE HIM BECAUSE HE GOT SICK… I ALMOST LEFT BECAUSE I GOT LOST TRYING TO SAVE HIM.  Nobody tells you that love can become a hospital room you never signed out of. Nobody tells you that you can sleep beside someone every night and still disappear right in front of them. And nobody tells you how guilty you feel the first time you admit, “I need something back too.”

OYFRIEND SAID HE WAS PROUD OF MY AMBITION… UNTIL I GOT THE JOB THAT MADE ME BIGGER THAN HIS EGO.  He loved my dreams when they were still small enough not to threaten him.
