Quotes by Ryan C. Thomas (?)

“Life really is amazing, and when you're about to lose it, you finally notice that you never really took it in before. And you realize the sheer magnitude of what it involves, from your first kiss to your hundredth slice of pizza. I guess that's why those tears drifted down my cheeks.”
― Ryan C. Thomas, The Summer I Died
