    “I realize I'm crying a little, too. I remember. Sometimes pain is so unmanageable that the idea of spending another day with it seems impossible. Other times pain acts as a compass to help you through the messier tunnels of growing up. But pain can only help you find happiness if you remember it.”
    ― Adam Silvera, More Happy Than Not

    Tyler Knott Gregson
    “Some days I wake up
    and all I feel
    are the fractures
    in the flesh
    that covers
    the only me
    I've ever known.
    Some days,
    it's those exact
    fissures
    that let the light
    hiding inside me
    pour out
    and cover
    in gold
    everyone
    that found enough beauty
    in the cracks
    to stand
    close.”
