What sort of diary should I like mine to be? Something looseknit and yet not slovenly, so elastic that it will embrace anything, solemn, slight or beautiful that comes to mind. I should like it to resemble some deep old desk, or capacious hold-all, in which one flings a mass of odds and ends without looking them through.
by Virginia Woolf

I created my journal cover (above) with a painted section of fabric from a vintage Joseph Ribhoff jacket.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…
from Oh, the Places You’ll Go! By Dr. Seuss

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember.
lyrics from Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye 

We are now just points on each other’s timelines.

Something to believe in 
for even a night
One night may be forever
but that’s alright, that’s alright
And if you’re gone tomorrow
what was ours still will be
I have something to believe in
now that I know you believed in me.
from Something to Believe In – Newsies the musical

I am glad that I had your love – even for just a little while.

Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
Yet many a man is making friends with death
Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
from Love Is Not All by Edna St. Vincent Millay 

Hold me, kiss me, love me…

Me, myself this time…

Eventually, however, you discover that you have nurtured in another what you should have nurtured in yourself and you are left empty. Even damaged. Bending your will to his, you lose your own passions and dreams.
from Labyrinth of Desire by Rosemary Sullivan

The cost of loving you has proven to be too high.

No trumpet sounds before him,
No silver bugles blow,
And skies are radiant o’er him,
And stars to light him glow.
from Winsome Womanhood by Margaret Sangster

I remember the intensity of your Prince Charming light.

The word “alone” should not, for us, ring cold and hollow, but hot.
Pulsing with potentiality.
from Party of One, The Loner’s Manifesto by Anneli Rufus

I love being with you, but also revel in my time alone.
