Bearable Quotes

There’s no magical healing in this. I won’t wake up tomorrow fixed and joyful. I’ll still hurt and grieve. But moments like this, with Colton? They make it all bearable. He doesn't fix me, doesn't heal me. He just makes life worthwhile. He helps me remember to breathe, shows me how to smile again. He kisses me, and I can forget pain, forget the urges I still have to cut for the pain that erases the emotions.

I was in awe of the mystery of human compassion and the inability of love to make the distance between us any more bearable.

When I could find something to laugh about for 30 minutes, my grief lightened just enough to make the day bearable.
