All your life you've been hurt, and it's the things you loved the most that hurt the most when you lost them. Everywhere you turn, even when the eyes that look back at you are just like yours, you know you're the stranger. You can't tell others how you really feel, because you know they'll laugh. And when you sleep, you can feel the hole inside you, because you know that no matter what you do, you'll always be different, and this world hates different. So you close your eyes, and you wonder if it would really be all that bad if you never woke up. Maybe in the next world, you'll find a way to fill the hole. But eventually, you open your eyes, and it's a new day, and you brush yourself off and try to make the best of things before you lie down to sleep and think it all over again. . Aaron Burdett
About This Quote

The line "All your life you've been hurt, and it's the things you love the most that hurt the most when you lost them" is taken from a poem about loss. The author, Cheryl Strayed, was talking about trying to come to terms with her mother's death when she was younger. Looking back at her childhood, she was able to understand what made her mother so special to her. She also learned not to take certain things for granted, like her mother's cooking (which was amazing) and the fact that they were both female (which she had always thought was great). So in this quote, the author is saying that when you lose something important in your life it will hurt even more than when you first lost it. Looking back on your life and how things used to be is always better than thinking about them now.
