“None of us know for sure how much time we have left, or what happens to us after we close our eyes for the last time. If I can pass on anything I’ve learned from this, it’s that you deserve to be happy. You deserve to celebrate your wins. And you deserve to live your life in a way that feels authentic and healthy for you. Don’t wait until your last moments to remember to enjoy them. Moments are fleeting, and your memories don’t always last forever. So embrace the joy when it’s right in front of you.”
― Akemi Dawn Bowman, The Infinity Courts

“Her judgement day would come, but for now, Pip walked and she promised. That's all. One foot in front of the other, even if she had to drag them, even when the hole in her heart felt too big to keep standing. She walked and she promised and he was with her, Ravi's fingers slotting in between hers in the way they used to fit, fingertips in the dips of her knuckles.”
― Holly Jackson, As Good As Dead
