The Anchor and the Flame
"I don't choose the brother. I don't choose the humanity. the vampire diaries monologue
"When I was human, I thought the hardest thing in the world was letting go. I thought grief was a pit with no bottom. I buried my parents on a Tuesday, and by Friday, I had already forgotten what my mother’s laugh sounded like. I remember thinking... 'If this is what life is, I don't want it.' The Anchor and the Flame "I don't choose the brother

You have to measure your own happiness in teaspoons, because if you take a whole cup... someone pays for it in blood.
