“I know better than most the way dark thoughts intrude, the way a broken heart can break your brain a little, too.”
― Megan Collins, Cross My Heart

“My time is already worthy, just by being mine, and I can use it to do the things I love: laughing with friends, reading good books, listening to Taylor Swift, finding ways to ease people’s burdens. And who knows what else I’ll discover about myself when I’m not worrying over a relationship or stressing about romantic prospects. Who knows what else I’ll become. Even if my worst fear comes to fruition, even if I’m alone in a hospital during my final moments, at least I’ll know that I actually lived. That I loved and cherished myself while I did.”
― Megan Collins, Cross My Heart

“It comes down to a simple truth: it’s easier, sometimes, to be miserable in love than it is to be alone.”
― Megan Collins, Cross My Heart

“There’s the truth, which is what literally happened. And then there’s the Truth—what emotionally happened. So much of poetry exists in that capital T.”
― Megan Collins, Cross My Heart
