It’s so easy to lose faith and become lost in all of the politics of the world. That’s why we need the arts. To sublimate our frustration and anger into something beautiful. Freud called sublimation a virtuous defence mechanism because it is in the arts that we can find our humanity.

Kiss your scars. Fall in love with them. They ought to serve as life-affirming reminders—a lingering trace of hope. The only reason we have these scars is because we survived and are still here.

God can take the ordinary and create the extraordinary. Our incredible God has the power to transform your simple life and give you the life of your dreams. Remarkable things happen in your life when you believe.

…the sad part is, that I will probably end up loving you without you for much longer than I loved you when I knew you.Some people might find that strange.But the truth of it is that the amount of love you feel for someone and the impact they have on you as a person, is in no way relative to the amount of time you have known them.

There is an ocean of silence between us… and I am drowning in it.
~ Ranata Suzuki
I had someone once who made every day mean something.And now…. I am lost….And nothing means anything anymore.
~ Ranata Suzuki
It’s painful, loving someone from afar.Watching them – from the outside.The once familiar elements of their life reduced to nothing more than occasional mentions in conversations and faces changing in photographs…..They exist to you now as nothing more than living proof that something can still hurt you … with no contact at all.
~ Ranata Suzuki
If you cannot hold me in your arms, then hold my memory in high regard.And if I cannot be in your life, then at least let me live in your heart.
~ Ranata Suzuki
I miss that feeling of connection.Knowing he was out there somewhere thinking about me at the same time I was thinking about him.
~ Ranata Suzuki
When you experience loss, people say you’ll move through the 5 stages of grief….Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance….. What they don’t tell you is that you’ll cycle through them all every day.
~ Ranata Suzuki
The last time I felt alive – I was looking into your eyes.Breathing your air…. touching your skin…… Saying goodbye….The last time I felt alive…. I was dying.
~ Ranata Suzuki
I think perhaps I will always hold a candle for you – even until it burns my hand.And when the light has long since gone …. I will be there in the darkness holding what remains, quite simply because I cannot let go.
~ Ranata Suzuki
Though these words will never find you, I hope that you knew I was thinking of you today….. and that I was wishing you every happiness.Love Always,The girl you loved once.
~ Ranata Suzuki
I have poured my heart out ….And now I am empty.
~ Ranata Suzuki
The only place I ever felt at home was with you. There isn’t a place for me anywhere anymore… I’ve been evicted.
~ Ranata Suzuki
I would have followed you to hell and back... if only you'd lead me back.
~ Ranata Suzuki
I raised you so high that every other man on earth is now doomed to live in your shadow.
~ Ranata Suzuki
Every quote, every book, every film seemed to suggest that ‘one day’ someone would come into my life and love me with an intensity and a passion I had never experienced before. And to their credit they were right; It all came and went so fast it really did feel as if it were just ‘one day’....
~ Ranata Suzuki
He looked at me like I was the stars when all I’d ever felt like was the dark nothingness between them.
~ Ranata Suzuki
It’s the intricate details you miss the most. For me, it’s the soft lines around the eyes when he smiles… Or that look he gave me sometimes that I cannot begin to describe - but I would know it if I saw it again.It was the look that gave him away.I’d know that look anywhere…It used to be my everything.
~ Ranata Suzuki
Like so many others my story begins with that same old line…. ‘So anyway, there was this guy….’ Until one day…. there wasn’t.And nothing was ever the same after that….
~ Ranata Suzuki
Though life has fated that we never cross paths again, don’t ever feel alone. For we are parallel …. and I will always be by your side.
~ Ranata Suzuki
Though it’s reasons to burn may vary... you are always the fuel of my fire.
~ Ranata Suzuki
I believe in love at first sight…But it’s not the first moment you lay eyes on a person, it’s the moment you first see the person they truly are.
~ Ranata Suzuki
It’s times like this…. when it’s over a year later and I’m still crying over you that I want to turn to you and say: See…. This is why I asked you never to kiss me.
~ Ranata Suzuki
My heart’s been empty since you left - but still I refuse to put up a vacancy sign.I’m just not ready for anybody else to move in yet.
~ Ranata Suzuki
I write what I love.I will not stop – even when my hand hurts….…. because I cannot stop – even though my heart hurts….
~ Ranata Suzuki
I’d never dreamed anybody could love me the way he did. And even when he proved it to me time and again – I still could hardly believe it was true.
~ Ranata Suzuki
It’s funny how we say a person ‘made’ us when they actually broke us.Sort of like how I say ‘funny’... but I actually mean sad.
~ Ranata Suzuki
How I wish I could undo it all … take it all back…All those years I spent unhappy with him …. when I should have been looking for you.
~ Ranata Suzuki
