“Sometimes I worry that as I’ve got older, I’ve shrunk my world instead of making it grow,”
― Carley Fortune, This Summer Will Be Different

“But people aren’t math problems.” I gave a heavy shrug. “I can miss my dad and hate him at the same time. I can be worried about this book and torn up about my family and sick over the house I’m living in, and still look out at Lake Michigan and feel overwhelmed by how big it is. I spent all last summer thinking I’d never be happy again, and now, a year later, I still feel sick and worried and angry, but at moments, I’m also happy. Bad things don’t dig down through your life until the pit’s so deep that nothing good will ever be big enough to make you happy again. No matter how much shit, there will always be wildflowers. There will always be Petes and Maggies and rainstorms in forests and sun on waves.”

“Not believing in something doesn't stop you from wanting it. If you're not careful.”
― Emily Henry, Beach Read

“The same universe that dispassionately takes things away can bring you things you weren't imaginative enough to dream up.”
― Emily Henry, Funny Story
