This is where I leave you
"You have to look at what is in front of you, at what it could it be, and stop measuring it against what you've lost. I know this to be wise and true, just as I know that pretty much no one can do it.""I'm living in separate universes, and I have no idea where I actually belong."
"You're terrified of being alone. Anything you do now will be motivated by that fear. You have to stop worrying about finding love again. It will come when it comes. Get comfortable with being alone. It will empower you."
"....then you'll know the first thing you do at the end is reflect on the beginning. Maybe it's some form of reverse closure or just the basic human impulse toward sentimentality, or masochism, but as you stand there shell-shocked in the charred ruins of your life, your mind will invariably go back to the time when it all started."
