"Time heals all wounds. And if it doesn't, you name them something other than wounds and agree to let them stay."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"When you live with voices in your head, you are drawn inextricably to voices outside your head. Very often the voices work to confirm your worst suspicions. Or think of things you could never have imagined! There are only so many hours of the day to hate yourself."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"I will be forever grateful for your presence in my life. I am a much better human being because of you. The experience of loving you, living with you, was the greatest journey of my life thus far. You showed me an alternative to the man I was becoming.

I know I still have much to learn, much to accomplish, and I know my future is bright. I owe you the confidence I now have in myself. This is the confidence that could only come from the knowledge that a woman of your caliber loved me for who I am; for what you saw in me.

You are a great woman and I mean that in the strongest sense of the phrase. You feel deeply, think deeply, and live deeply. I admire so much about you. Regardless of whether our paths cross again, know that I am actively wishing you success and happiness. I pray that you will once again be part of my life. But if left with just the experience we've shared, I know my life was better because of it."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"If killing yourself is not an option anymore,
you have to sink into the darkness instead,
and make something out of it."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"I'm in love with someone good and kind and gentle, and he's seen the darkness too, but somehow we've become each other's light."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"Are you mine?"
Yes.
"Are you mine?"
Yes.
"Are you mine?"
No.
"No?"
No. I loved being yours. But now I'm mine, which is all I ever was, in the end."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"I never lie ― I am a blatantly truthful person about almost everything. My addiction (or disease as some call it) always lies. I have had very good relationships, but the addict in me always fucked them up. I fall in love quickly, it's a high that rivals drugs for a while. I am monogamous, but I always cheated with depression before the relationship fell apart. Addicts need best friends, healthy people need healthy relationships."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"But I saw the pain and sadness in everything, and swirled it round my mouth like a fine wine."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"There is a blessing in losing the one we love. It's the blessing of self-transformation. You don't have to who you were anymore. You've struggled. And now you can change. It doesn't mean that bits of that person won't cling to you, they will throughout your life, but they are now subsumed into something greater. That person has given you, in fact, the most important blessing, which is they gave you the blessing of transforming your soul into
something better, something more beautiful."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"You're like Marilyn Monroe,' Ken tells me, which I take as a compliment and say a nervous "Thank You". Interrupting, he adds, 'You're all velvet and Velcro. Men want you because you're sexy and broken and when it gets too rough they can say "Hey! This toy is broken!" and toss you aside without feeling bad."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"I envied women with signature hair-dos, signature perfumes, signature sign-offs. Novelists who tell Vogue Magazine: "I can't live without my Smythson notebook, Pomegranate Noir cologne by Jo Malone and Frette sheets". In the grip of madness, materialism begins to look like an admirable belief system."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"It's as if he can no longer acknowledge the love he felt or the pain I am in. I have been dismissed. I don't think I was smarter or as beautiful as the other girls he did this to. It's just that I was me. It was all I had."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"Is it needy? It's not. We don't need each other. We just really, really enjoy each other. And we're good together. We're good people together. And I have the funniest feeling. I can really, truly touch this all, this happiness and the sadness too, I can trace all of it with my fingers. It isn't theoretical or distant. This feels like me. This is me. I love him, and, for the first time in a relationship, I also like me. Every time he says "I love you," I answer, "I believe you."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"Yes, I have patterns of love addiction.
But I'm a woman.
Of course I do."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"Of course he freaked me out.
Of course it's nothing to do with me.
But none of that matters.
He loved me and now he doesn't.
I was everything to him and now I am nothing."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"I say, "Well then I don't know if it was real,
and that makes me feel like I'm going insane again."
"Absolutely it was real. It was a real, partial picture. Because it ended preemptively, things you would have learned about him in the relationship, you are instead learning in the breakup. You have learned that he has a desperate desire for intimacy
and then a desperate desire for the cave.
He will get lonely there eventually and come back."
"To me?"
He doesn't pause. "To someone new."
"And I'll have to watch another girl?"
"You will have to, but you will also know
what lies ahead for that poor girl."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"When he kisses me, I cry. I explain it's not because I wish he were someone else, it's because it's such a shock to the system to be desired after feeling so completely abandoned."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"It is madness. And if you don't know who you are, or if your real self has drifted away from you with the undertow, madness at least gives you an identity. It's the same with self-loathing. You're probably just normal and normal-looking but that's not a real identity, not the way ugliness is. Normality, just accepting that you're probably normal-looking, lacks the force field of self-disgust. If you don't know who you are, madness gives you something to believe in."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"Now that he's gone, I feel like I'm a senior citizen who gave away her life savings over the phone.
And this is the crux: I never in my life believed in someone as much as I believed in him.
The shame is overwhelming."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"In other words, it was a struggle with himself. And the product of that struggle: anger, bitterness, resentment, envy or transformation, aspiration, hope, decency..the product of that struggle is the quality of your life and the nature of your soul."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"He was addicted to me
and now he has gone cold turkey.
He used to send me fifty texts a day.
And now he is ignoring me.
It's like I was once his Barack Obama.
And now I am John McCain,
conceding defeat like a sad-face sock puppet, knowing I have sold the best of myself.
He, my electorate,
not only does not want me,
he actively feels pity."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"Well. There is a psychiatric occurrence we see in men-not often women-where they put all their hopes and dreams onto one person, so intensely that at some point it trips a wire in the brain circuitry, and that causes them to go, in a minute, 180 degrees the other way."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"I want you to stay.
I never want there to be a time
when we don't share space."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"You can have this kind of love. You can have it.
You just grab it. Of course the problem with
having that love is that you can lose it, too."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"We intersect. He says he thanks every star that we existed on the same celestial plain. But here we are on earth, dirty, well used, a man-made throughway for intersecting dreams."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"People don't know. We don't know ourselves so we tell ourselves what we really know is other people. We could say the depth of pain we feel for the lovers who've left us is because we knew them so well."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"It's only a heartache. It isn't a tragedy. A tragedy would be losing the father of my children to cancer. This I wrestle with the hardest. There are thirty-one flavors of pain, like Baskin Robbins in hell. Am I allowed to feel pain at a breakup? When there is so much other shit going on in this world? Love is extremely serious. I don't think this is trivial."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"No one ever loved you like him.
And no one ever took it away so completely.
But it's here.
Look around."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

"What people don't understand when you've already been a suicide and pulled through is that after the sadness comes fear: Where is my mind going with this? I don't want to die. I do not want to die. When you don't have so much control over your own thoughts, over the myriad voices in your head,
you don't know where they could go."
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head
