"Loneliness is not lack of company, loneliness is lack of purpose."

Guillermo Maldonado (via quote-book)

"There’s a reason I said I’d be happy alone. It wasn’t ‘cause I thought I’d be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It’s easier to be alone, because what if you learn that you need love and you don’t have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It’s like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It could go on forever."

Meredith Grey

"I know that there is a lion and a wild love so true, so savage that you cannot help but have it in your life. I know that you can find this person and still be lonely sometimes. I know that you can be understood and you can be loved if you let it happen. I know that you can be brave and you can be happy because I am, or at least, I’m beginning to be."

"I don’t want to be alone. I have never wanted to be alone. I fucking hate it. I hate that I have no one to talk to, I hate that I have no one to call, I hate that I have no one to hold my hand, hug me, tell me everything is going to be all right. I hate that I have no one to share my hopes and dreams with, I hate that I no longer have any hopes or dreams, I hate that I have no one to tell me to hold on, that I can find them again. I hate that when I scream, and I scream bloody murder, that I am screaming into emptiness. I hate that there is no one to hear my scream and that there is no one to help me learn how to stop screaming. More than anything, all I have ever wanted is to be close to someone. More than anything, all I have ever wanted is to feel as if I wasn’t alone."

We are all
travellers

ourselves
when we are alone.

"Sometimes when you hold out for everything, you walk away with nothing. Sometimes the worst thing for someone’s heart could be loneliness. The world is no longer a romantic place, some of its people still are, however, and therein lies the promise. Don’t let the world win."

Ally Mcbeal 

This goes out to all the romantics.

"I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person."

Oscar Wilde
