“Live long enough,” Dr. Musa says softly, “and you’ll lose people, things. We just need to learn how to deal with it in ways that aren’t isolating or destructive. You have to decide if being afraid of losing Yasmen again is worth never having her again.”
― Kennedy Ryan, Before I Let Go

“Live with what you’ll leave behind in mind.”
― Kennedy Ryan, Reel

“There is only one letter of difference between love and lose, and somewhere along the way, for me they became synonymous. I understand now that something broke in me after my parents died that somehow healed wrong, and I started measuring how much I loved people in terms of how much it would hurt to lose them.”
― Kennedy Ryan, Before I Let Go

“The only thing you can do with today is make it count, because soon it will be tomorrow. And I already told you about them tomorrows. Better todays make better tomorrows, and if you don’t get tomorrow at least you had today.”
― Kennedy Ryan, Reel
