If you love someone, you tell them. Even if you're scared that it's not the right thing. Even if you're scared that it'll cause problems. Even if you're scared that it will burn your life to the ground, you say it, and you say it loud and you go from there.

I’m a human being. I make mistakes, I’m flawed, we all are.

I can’t lose you, I won’t survive and that’s your fault. You made me love you, you made me let you in.’
But if you lose your love, if you think you’re losing your love, then suddenly nothing else matters.
You deserve to be with somebody who makes you happy. Somebody who’s not gonna complicate your life. Somebody who won’t hurt you.
That’s where love exists, in delusional fantasies.
No one’s ever believed in me like this. You believe in me more than I do and I need that. I’m gonna die here without that.

At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. Its like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed.

You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill.

You can build a house out of anything. Make it as strong as you want. But a home, a home is more fragile than that. A home is made of the people you fill it with. And people can be broken, sure, but any surgeon knows, what's broken can be mended. What's hurt can be healed. That no matter how dark it…
We lose those battles as often as we succeed. The key, though, win or lose, is to never fail. And the only way to fail is not to fight. So fight until you can't fight anymore. Never let go.
