Forgiving Lies

so they’re lies. But they’re the kind of lies that people forgive and forget about because they’re so minor. But when people tell harmful lies, or ones that can shatter trusts, and the other person finds out about them . . . they always say what they did was unforgivable. So if lies that can hurt people are unforgivable, then why can’t the ones that are meant to be polite be forgiving lies?”

I don’t love you. I’m in love with an illusion.

I’m terrified of how easily you can hurt me. And I’m terrified of living the rest of my life without you.
