This quote is by John Green. I’m reading the Fault in Our Stars (and they made it into a movie) right now, and I was planning to do a quote from it, because it’s such an amazing book. But John Green is an awesome writer and I found this quote from his book Paper Towns (which I intend to read) instead, and this quote really struck me.
We all know these types of relationships. It’s impossible to get out of it for reasons specific to each person and which all make sense. But something else is constantly causing pain or suffering and it becomes just this roller coaster of days that go jerk back and forth between good and catastrophic. Some days there’s courage, but no one acts on it, or they do but then it’s quickly deemed pointless as they relapse back in to the relationship. It’s the thought of the aftermath of leaving, that causes all this stalling and uncertainty. It’s the worrying of the future, of moving on, or of being moved on from. But then, what if it’s not? What if really, the hardest part is just ignoring all that worry and scrounging up all the courage that is manageable, and then after it’s done, after you’ve left…you realize it was the easiest thing in the world? I wish and hope this is the case. My best friend who I have known forever and who has time and time again been in this situation is who I think of. I just want to be able to tell her this, in a way that she’ll actually believe. But of course it’s not my place. I have to be the supportive friend; I have to be consoling when it’s a bad day, and then feign excitement when something good happens, because that’s what best friends are supposed to do. These situations are delicate, because you can’t overstep; you can barely make the suggestion because if you push too hard, you may be shut out completely and then they don’t have the support. I worry about her every single day. I worry about him too, honestly, because neither of them are bad people, they just are bad together. I’d like to believe her when she says things get better, but I know she’s trying to put my mind at ease, and maybe even she’s trying to convince herself. It’s so hard to leave, until you leave. And then, it’s the easiest thing in the world. I hope it’s true.
