A girlfriend is: someone you never want to see marrying anyone else, yet when she wants to marry you, you feel afraid. She leaves her deepest longing for you, yet you leave her with her deepest tears.
Love often turns an adult back into a child. Yet, every breakup forces us to learn how to be an adult—to wipe away our tears, smile, and say to ourselves and to that person: "I am fine. I am grown up now, and nothing is insurmountable. Didn't we say we could live without each other? We aren't children anymore; we know that no banquet lasts forever. Don't worry, I don't hate you; I truly don't hate you."
One cannot inflict the same pain on another. When someone repeatedly hurts you, the wound becomes accustomed and the feeling numbs. No matter how many times they hurt you, it can never compare to the pain of the first time. It is like drinking poison with a smile; loving someone is hard, but letting go of someone you love is even harder.
Do you prefer the ocean or a lake? The vastness of the sea or the tranquility of a lake? It is a difficult choice, much like choosing between the sunset and the stars; it depends on your mood. Lake Maggiore in northern Italy, near the Swiss border, is as picturesque as a painting. When I am very old, where will I live? Switzerland is the land where I dream of spending my final years. At this moment, I prefer the lake.
The greatest trouble in life is not having to make choices, but not knowing what one wants, and not knowing who one wants to have by one's side at the end of life. — Stella Cheung
Some people are wonderful, and you want to love them, yet you simply cannot. Some people are not so great, yet you find it impossible not to love them. — Stella Cheung
The one who says goodbye first always holds the upper hand.
Because I once loved someone so deeply, I cannot accept someone I only slightly like.
