Forgetting isn’t enough. You can paddle away from the memories and think they are gone. But they will keep floating back, again and again and again. They circle you, like sharks. Until, unless something, someone? Can do more than just cover the wound.

Too much of anything can destroy you. Too much darkness can kill you, and too much light can blind you.

One of the cruellest things you can do to another person is pretend you care about them more than you really do.
