Every Word You Cannot Say

Iain S. Thomas

Top 10 Best Quotes

“I feel like I’m the only one who feels the things I feel, or thinks the way I think.  I’m worried that I’m taking everything too seriously, or not seriously enough.  Sometimes I want you to see me, and sometimes I want to disappear.  I don’t know if I’ve ever truly felt like the ground beneath me was firm.  Things always feel like they’re moving and I never get the chance to catch up to them and when I do, it feels like it all goes too quickly.  I am nice to people I don’t like because I don’t know what else to do.  I feel like I’m waiting for something but I don’t know what it is.  I often walk past people in the street, and I wonder if anyone else is waiting too.  I don’t know if I’m ever, really, “Here.” So I'm fine.* *I'm not fine.”

“You can hide so much, you forget what it's like to be found. ”

“I know that, sometimes, you wish someone would just say the words you needed to hear because, sometimes, you don't even know what those words are. ”

“You cannot fix me because I am not broken. And even though everything has changed, I am still more than I've ever been. ”

“Sometimes, you don't think you deserve goodness. But, I promise you, we all have things we think we don't deserve. ”

“And if you find someone with a head made of colors and a heart made of secrets, try to love them like they need to be loved. ”

“We only hear the loudest voices when really, we should be listening to the quietest. ”

“Let’s talk about it another time.* *If I’m honest, sometimes I feel like we’ve been trying to find each other in every life before this one, and this is as close as we’ve ever gotten. And I know now that we have to try again because we fucked this up. Maybe we won’t even be born on the same continent next time, or the time after that, and we’ll just spend those lives searching for something we can’t find, miserable for reasons we will never understand. Until we get to try again. Until we somehow find each other in another life.”

“There is a kind of light that can shine in anyone, if they give themselves the space to shine. ”

“Kindness is not a currency, and if you treat it like one, then that is not kindness.”
