“Soulmates aren't the ones who make you happiest, no. They're instead the ones who make you feel the most. Burning edges and scars and stars. Old pangs, captivation and beauty. Strain and shadows and worry and yearning. Sweetness and madness and dreamlike surrender. They hurl you into the abyss. They taste like hope.”
― Victoria Erickson

“I love you,” I say to him, only it comes out, “Hey.”

― Jandy Nelson, I'll Give You the Sun

“And maybe some people are like collages - no matter how broken or useless we felt, we were an essential part of the whole. We mattered.”
― Heather Demetrios, I'll Meet You There
