Love should make you more of who you are, not less. If it makes you less, it's not love. It's dependency. And dependency is dangerous.

You Are Like a Flame to Me: The Algorithm of Letting Go
Communication is not just about talking, it’s about understanding, listening, and making the other person feel heard. It’s the lifeline of every relationship, the bridge that keeps two hearts connected. Without it, small misunderstandings turn into distance, and silence starts to replace love. People don’t stop loving each other overnight; they just stop feeling understood. That’s how even the strongest bonds slowly fade, not because love ended, but because communication did. So, talk before it’s too late. Listen before they stop trying. Because once silence takes over, words can’t fix what’s already broken.

You don’t need to be easier to love. You just need to be loved by someone who actually knows how.

Stop Dating the Wrong Letters: A Playful-but-True Guide to Finding Love That Fits (Alphabetically Speaking)
You never say anything when it actually matters. You stay silent when words could have saved something, and when you finally do something, it’s always too late. So tell me, what should I believe your silence that hurts, or your actions that come when everything’s already broken? Because by the time you finally care, there’s nothing left to care about.

It scares me to think how bad my life would have been if I would have still been with you. When I was with you, I was losing my peace, my smile, my confidence without even realising it. And that’s why without you, I feel a sense of relief. But when I look back now, it hurts to realise how much I was ready to tolerate for someone who was never good for me, even when they kept using me.

I don’t even care about your existence anymore, forget about what you think about me...That’s how far things have gone. It’s not hate, it’s just peace after too much pain. It's relief after too much restlessness.... and that's because you stop caring how much you love someone if they make you feel like they don't even care about it...

Silence may avoid fights, but it builds walls. At first, it feels like peace, no arguments, no tension. But slowly, that silence turns into distance. You stop explaining, they stop asking, and one day, there’s nothing left to say at all. The connection fades, not because of anger, but because both hearts stopped trying. Sometimes, silence doesn’t protect a relationship; it ends it quietly. So talk, even when it’s hard. Because honest words heal more than unspoken ones ever will.

You were the one who made it intense. You were the one telling me you wanted to marry me. Or that you couldn't stop thinking about me. You rang me twice a day. You insisted we spent every other night together. I just wanted to hang out and get to know each other. You decided the entire pace of this relationship then you slammed on the brakes when it suited you. It was like I was just a lucky passenger along for the ride.

Listening is more than hearing sounds; it is the act of giving full attention to another being or to a moment. It involves suspending our own narrative long enough to truly receive what is offered. ... It is surprising how often we listen with the intent to respond rather than the intent to understand. We mentally prepare our reply while the other person is still speaking

By letting go of your personas that restrict what you say and do, you may find that it’s more liberating to act like you are and say what you think. This may help you express yourself better and connect with others more deeply, and you may even reduce your stress and garner more allies or support you need.

My grandma would have three heart attacks and a stroke if she saw me in makeup.

Brock said he'd failed to tell the detective so many crucial details upon his initial arrest[ed] ...my mind was going a million miles an hour, and it was impossible for me to think clearly about what happened. Meanwhile victims are always expected to think clearly, we don't get to use fear as an excuse.
- Chanel Miller
Know My Name
The officer claimed he'd been scared, had reason to believe Philando was reaching for his gun. Show me that scenario. A man seated with a trunk full of melting groceries, wearing a thin layer of cotton, a little girl in the backseat. About to whip out his gun, shoot through the cop's bulletproof vest, to be his own getaway driver? Why would Philando shoot an innocent man withing forty seconds of meeting him? Why would the officer?

Know My Name
Since our separation I have been spilling
ink on lined pages, wondering what stopped
working when the plates were put away and
how many times we asked with water in our eyes
what we wanted if it wasn’t art on the wall
in the house by the sea?
- Raymond Antrobus

Ruth Gentry at six o'clock," I whisper.

His head starts twisting around, which also really isn't helping with the totally chill and not at all suspicious vibe. "Six o'clock? Where is six o'clock?"

"Actually...I'm not even sure why I said that, because I don't know where six o'clock is either. But it sounded like the right thing to say -- just --behind you. Ruth Gentry is behind you, and she's watching us.

Sorry for the holdup, folks." His voice is surprisingly deep and low, like Lance Bass's, whenever NSYNC let him sing a line.
