Falling Apart

When your heart makes a grand somersault, you cannot really stop from falling. And when your mind starts to spin, there’s no stopping the momentum. When you start to fall apart, the pieces will break no matter how you fight it.

So if you need to fall apart, fall apart into a million pieces - - it does not mean that you are brittle. It does not mean that you are any less strong. It does not even mean that you are defeated. Falling apart is simply that - - it is something you do to realize just how whole you used to be. And it is something that has to happen before you can pick up the pieces again.
