“That's the way life when sometimes. You suffer and you heal and you love. You find people who have been waiting their whole lives to meet you. You soak in every moment you can, taking in every drop of joy life gifts you. You live and you live until you can't anymore.

But once you're gone, it's not for nothing. Because your love lives on in the people you left behind.”
― Isabel Klee, Dogs, Boys, and Other Things I’ve Cried About

“I think it's better to feel," Yoyo said, "even if it hurts.”

“Thinking how I'd liked so much of my life in love, I felt almost unbearable affection for both my life and them.”

“I wish I could exist in this moment without carrying the baggage I've collected throughout my life. I like being older. I'd rather be me now than me any age prior. But there is this heaviness to aging. Who I am was built on the shoulders of the person I was last year, and the year before, and before, and before.”
― Emily R. Austin, Is This a Cry for Help?
