Quote by Ally Condie

Isn't it funny how the memories you cherish before a breakup can become your worst enemies afterwards? The thoughts you loved to think about, the memories you wanted to hold up to the light and view from every angle--it suddenly seems a lot safer to lock them in a box, far from the light of day and throw away the key. It's not an act of bitterness. It's an act if self-preservation. It's not always a bad idea to stay behind the window and look out at life instead, is it?


Isn't it funny how the memories you cherish before a breakup

Summary

This quote highlights the bittersweet nature of memories after a breakup. Memories that were once cherished and enjoyed can morph into sources of pain and heartache. To protect oneself, it may feel necessary to compartmentalize and distance oneself from these memories. It's not an act driven by bitterness but rather a self-preserving mechanism. Sometimes, instead of actively engaging with life, staying at a distance and observing from the window can offer a sense of safety and security.
