“Uncomfortable is when you know what needs to be done. It's just not the thing you most want to do. Uncomfortable doesn't feel good, but at least you know what's supposed to happen. But whew, hard?" Her hands flew up to the sides of head, as if to protect her temples from a flood of memories. "Hard is when you have no idea what needs to be done, or how to do it. And no idea how you're going to make it through.”

“Girl, we're living out our dreams. Sometimes it's just happening in slow motion, so you don't notice until you hit a milestone or look back on everything.”

“But death isn't a transistion for only those who've passed. You never know who or what it will change for the living.”

“You never know what's going to come up or what you'll have to confront. But don't think your journey should be easy just. because you don't have larger problems.”
