You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair.

Chinese Proverb

Tears are words that need to be written.

Memories are what warm you up inside. But they're also what tear you apart.

Haruki Murakami

The sensation I had experienced vanished like smoke from a snuffed candle, leaving behind wisps of nameless longing.

Julianne Donaldson

It was one of those times you feel a sense of loss, even though you didn't have something in the first place. I guess that's what disappointment is- a sense of loss for something you never had.

Losing people you love affects you. It is buried inside of you and becomes this big, deep hole of ache. It doesn't magically go away, even when you stop officially mourning.

One is never as unhappy as one thinks, nor as happy as one had hoped to be.

François de La Rochefoucauld
