“I think sometimes the biggest influence isn't what's present in your life, but what's absent.

Those missing pieces that shape you and change you, the silences that are louder than the noise.”

“Grief isn't like a map you can follow. It's not a simple route with a destination. Sometimes you loop back and find yourself in the exact same place you left.”
