"If we make it through this, we can get through anything. And if, for some reason, she walks away from this… then I will wish her all the happiness in the world and find a way to accept it, because that is what it means to love someone."
"Sometimes reality has a way of sneaking up and biting us in the ass. And when the dam bursts, all you can do is swim. The world of pretend is a cage, not a cocoon. We can only lie to ourselves for so long. We are tired, we are scared, and denying it doesn’t change the truth. Sooner or later we have to put aside our denial and face the world, head on, guns blazing… Denial. It’s not just a river in Egypt. It’s a freakin’ ocean. So how do you keep from drowning in it?"
