"One minute you’re closer to someone than anyone in the whole world, next minute they need only to say the words ‘time apart’, ‘serious talk’ or ‘maybe you…’ and you’re never going to see them again and will have to spend the next six months having imaginary conversations in which they beg to come back, and bursting into tears at the sight of their toothbrush."

"We have to stop caring what they would think if they saw us, stop worrying about running into them in the store, stop obsessing over the things we could have done differently to make them stay. And that means letting go of everything they meant to us, proving to ourselves that life can be just as good, just as beautiful, without them in it. When you realize, long after the fact, that you no longer care about someone—that what they are doing in life has no bearing on you, and vice versa—it feels very much like a small death. Who they were with you no longer exists, and you cannot even preserve it in your memory, for the sake of your own mental health."

—Chelsea Fagan

"When someone leaves you, apart from missing them, apart from the fact that the whole little world you’ve created together collapses, and that everything you see or do reminds you of them, the worst is the thought that they tried you out and, in the end, you got stamped REJECT by the one you love."

—Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones’s Diary
