“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?

“We're all just playing into stories created before our time. We're all just living and altering them, every day.”
― C.J. Leede, Maeve Fly

“There were days when her eyes felt so full, the tears ran in rivulets. She'd swear that crying had never felt that way before- that before, she'd cry drops, and now, she cried streams. There must be some science to it, one sort of crying for transient pains and another sort for crippling grief.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Cherry Baby

“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.”
