“Sometimes I've been going about my day, dwelling on this or that, something insignificant and ephemeral, and have been jolted out of my thoughts by a bird flying by or a face in the street or the light reaching through the clouds and have found myself wanting to hit the back button.

“You don't know what love is, I thought, wanting to smack him. Love was the steady burn of acid indigestion. Love was a punch in the gut that ruptured your spleen. Love was a broken telephone that refused to dial out.”

― Courtney Maum, Costalegre
