“Each of our lives is anchored to a single moment, whether disturbing or traumatic or euphoric or inscrutable, from which we never move on, and that the age at which this moment occurs is our Eternal Age”
― Alexis Schaitkin, Saint X

“sometimes I just want to sit in the same place forever because I don't have the energy for another day without Cal in it.”

“When a person you love dies, the calendar becomes a minefield. Anyone who has lost someone knows this. There is the loved one’s birthday. One’s own Birthday. Various national and religious holidays, if one is religious. All of these days are difficult in their own ways. But the anniversary is different. On the anniversary of the loved one’s death, you slip backward through time to this same day, one, five, ten years ago. You live it all over again, minute by minute.”
― Alexis Schaitkin, Saint X

“Life is messy. You know the only time it’s not? When you’re not living it—when you’re just going through the motions.”
― Vi Keeland, The Invitation
