COME WITH ME ALICE. YOU’RE TOO WILD, TOO BEAUTIFUL, TO LIVE IN CHAINS. YOU BELONG OUT HERE. A ROSE IN A VASE IS NOT A ROSE IN THE FIELD. IT WITHERS.
WHERE WOULD WE GO, LUKE? WHAT WOULD WE EAT?
ANYWHERE WE WANT, MY LOVE, AND ANYTHING WE CAN CATCH OR FIND IN DUMPSTERS. YOU THINK YOU HAVE SECURITY BUT YOU HAVE SHACKLES. YOU THINK YOU ARE LOVED BUT YOU ARE A TOY FOR OTHERS’ AMUSEMENT. I WILL SHOW YOU FREEDOM. TOGETHER WE WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE. WE WILL SET THE WORLD AFLAME.
I DON’T KNOW, LUKE. YOU’RE JUST TOO DAMNED HANDSOME TO TRUST.
I CAN’T HELP THAT, ALICE. I WAS BORN THIS WAY. THE UPSTAIRS WINDOW IS OPEN. DON’T PACK A BAG.

12250"You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later they’re as dull as a brick? Then there’s other people, when you meet them you think, “Not bad. They’re okay.” And then you get to know them and… and their face just sort of becomes them. Like their personality’s written all over it. And they just turn into something so beautiful." — Amelia Pond (via investyourlove—investyourlife)

‘Cause when a heart breaks, no it don’t break even.

Despite the sloppy grammar, this sentiment is absolutely true. (Let’s face it though, correct grammar isn’t absolutely necessary when you’re speaking the truth. Generally, the truth just tumbles out of your mouth in exactly the way you mean it, without a care for double negatives or split infinitives.)

The point is that when a heart breaks, there’s always one person hurting more than the other. Sometimes it’s the girl, sometimes it’s the boy, sometimes it’s the more dominant person in the relationship, sometimes it’s the one who took a backseat the whole time. You can’t say that it was the person who ‘loved’ more, because really, who can be the judge of that? 

Based on my experience, I assumed this person was usually the girl, or whoever had invested more in the relationship, because the person left hurting more after my few breakups was always me. Maybe it was because, when it came down to it, they were always the ones letting me go. Not the other way round. I realise now though, that just because I’ve cried more tears or embarrassed myself more times than they did, it doesn’t mean that they weren’t hurt too. You can’t assume to know how someone else deals with their pain.

I was reminded of this sobering fact recently, after talking to a few friends I hadn’t spoken with in a while. I can’t say I knew either of them entirely well before I met them as a couple, so maybe my thoughts are completely irrelevant. I thought I knew how it would end up, but I was wrong. These two, very different individuals dealt with their breakup in significantly different ways, both heartbroken, but not the same. One half chasing a new life while the other watches on wondering what on earth they’ll do without the one they loved for so long. When a heart breaks, no. It doesn’t break even.

People seem to be split down the middle in terms of the advice they give to friends who’ve just been through a break up. They’ll either tell you to forget about the whole thing and act as if it never happened, or to reflect on the positive things that happened to you because of the person you loved, and remember the good times you shared. Well, you can’t forget about something like that, it’s impossible, and unnecessary. But that doesn’t make it easy to be okay about losing something that made you infinitely happy. Hindsight’s a bitch, and you can’t let yourself wish and ‘what if’, because that shit will destroy you.

I guess I just wish that I had known that it’s okay for me to hurt. Everybody hurts, sometimes. It doesn’t make me weak, it doesn’t mean I’m less okay than the other person. It doesn’t mean they didn’t love me as much as I loved them. Even if I did, that doesn’t make me pathetic, or a silly little girl. It’s just that nothing ever turns out the same on both sides.
