Quotes by Dominic Riccitello

• He was my entire world. He still is. My best friend, lover, partner in crime and my other soul. But he didn't agree. A person isn't supposed to be your entire world, he said. But he's wrong. When you love yourself, you love others. When you find yourself, you find others. When you create your world and it's thriving, you create others. And I built an entire world for him. For us. As he once built for me.

  Read quote

• You were a rhyme who mattered, a being who slipped all too often.

  Read quote

• Don't break my heart. Crush it. Destroy it. Let me wallow it until I feel hollow in it. I'll bash in the pain. I'll scream your name and then one day I suddenly won't.

  Read quote

• You can't patch cracks on a glass house.

  Read quote

• We love certain people until death. We love others until we don't. And sometimes we never fell in love in the first place. Falling in love isn't necessary. Building character, life experience, development, and self-love: those are important. People get lost in the idea of affection for another person that they completely disregard themselves. That's dangerous. Life isn't about building something with someone. Life is about building something for yourself, but if someone comes along and they align, you share it with them.

• We were as big as the ocean, but as fragile as an ego.

  Read quote

• Ran out of things to say, metaphors for you. Why the ocean's clear instead of blue, why mountains in the distance had reminded me of you.

  Read quote

• When you know, you know and it flows in your mind like waves. Coming forward as it pulls with the tide. It brings anxiety, terror, and it's beyond anything plausible.

  Read quote

• Loving you was easy. Hating you was hard. Falling out was insane.

  Read quote

• The beauty was nothing made sense. We were complex. We were intricate. We were designed with flaws which seemed to make everything perfect. But the defining word is seem. We don't see what's in front of us until it's away from us. Until it's behind us. Until it doesn't bother us. Sometimes things aren't perfect, yet they appear to be. Sometimes life doesn't make sense until it does. But it always does.

  Read quote

• How you react to a situation says more about you than you know.

  Read quote

• Stop making excuses for other people. For why they do certain things. For how they treat people or how they treat you. Giving excuse and justifcation gives defense which lets them act however they want. It allows them because you tolerated it. Don't accept less than what you're worth because you're worth a lot.

  Read quote

• I stopped writing in a way they would understand because it wasn't for them or even him. It was for I to understand, for I to make sense, and for I to let go of it.

  Read quote

  Read quote
