“This world is so big, and full of people who keep the magic in their lives. When you see them – and you will – they will recognize you. Young or old. And they will love you.”
― Reimena Yee, Séance Tea Party

“Love is awful. It’s awful. It’s painful. It’s frightening. It makes you doubt yourself, judge yourself, distance yourself from the other people in your life. It makes you selfish. It makes you creepy, makes you obsessed with your hair, makes you cruel, makes you say and do things you never thought you would do. It’s all any of us want, and it’s hell when we get there. So no wonder it’s something we don’t want to do on our own. I was taught if we’re born with love then life is about choosing the right place to put it. People talk about that a lot, feeling right, when it feels right it’s easy. But I’m not sure that’s true. It takes strength to know what’s right. And love isn’t something that weak people do. Being a romantic takes a hell of a lot of hope. I think what they mean is, when you find somebody that you love, it feels like hope.”

“Everything that happens is part of your wholeness.”
― Kay O'Neill, The Tea Dragon Tapestry

“How cyclical and bittersweet for a child to retrace the image of their mother. For a subject to turn back to document their archivist.”
