quote
“Writing is about you, the writer—your heart, your body, your mind. It's about how you carry grief and joy and pain and fear and hesitations and love. In a world that so often feels unsteady and unkind, writing is a way of holding on—a lantern you carry, a small, stubborn act of hope that says: I was here and this is what I saw, this is what I heard, this is what I touched, this is what I felt.”

“She’s never understood the arbitrary nature of God, the logic behind “some are blessed and some are damned,” hates when people exclaim, “I’m so blessed!” every time they get a parking spot or survive cancer, as if people who can’t find a parking spot or die from cancer aren’t blessed and should work harder to earn God’s favor and protection.”

She'd asked him if he'd heard any secrets, but he'd only put his finger on her lips and said, "Listen.”
