Quotes by Marisa Donnelly (?)

“Maybe you leave
because you long to know.
Maybe you leave
not because of longing
but because you must.
Or maybe you leave
simply to find the answers
you’ve held inside of you
all along.”
― Marisa Donnelly, Somewhere On A Highway

tags: finding-your-place, leave, leaving, searching

are just hearts
with legs
and that’s why we’re so quick
to run.”
― Marisa Donnelly, Somewhere On A Highway

until I could almost forget
how restless I’d become.”
