“Granted Laura spent most of her time on Nextdoor but that was because people who lived year-round in beach towns were either busybodies, lunatics, and/or possible serial killers.”
― Karin Slaughter, Girl, Forgotten

“Every babe in arms was born to this terrible fate. Every parent and child, every spouse, every friend and lover and sibling. Every uncle and aunt and great-great grandfather. Every found family. All of us bound to the perpetual cycle. All of it so awful and wonderful and inescapable. To love was to live. And to live was to die.”
― Laura Steven, Our Infinite Fates

“Unreal friendship may turn to real
But real friendship, once ended, cannot be mended”
― T.S. Eliot, Murder in the Cathedral

“I had a lot of time to sit around and ponder: what did I really want from life? Really, I wanted a job, some new friends who I felt truly connected to and more confidence. Was that so much to ask? Surely not. So what were other people out there with jobs and close friends and rich, fulfilling lives doing that I wasn’t? Eventually, and with mounting fear, I realised: they were having new experiences, taking risks, making new connections. They were actually out there, living in the world instead of staring out at it.”
