“The physician spoke with confidence. He was a man, after all. He had no reason to think he would not be believed.”

“Grief is like a deep, dark hole. It calls like a siren: Come to me, lose yourself here. And you fight it and you fight it and you fight it, but when you finally do succumb and jump down into it, you can’t quite believe how deep it is. It feels as if this is how you will live for the rest of your life, falling. Terrified and devastated, until you yourself die.
But that is the mirage.
That is grief’s dizzying spell.
The fall isn’t never-ending. It does have a ground floor.
Today, I cry for so long that I finally feel the floor under my feet. I find the bottom. And while I know the hole will be there forever, at least for now, I feel as if I can live inside it. I have learned its boundaries and its edges.”

“Dificílimo reconhecer felicidade quando ela ainda está no recinto. Caso reconheça, é fundamental fotografar, escrever, desenhar, filmar. Para isso servem nossos smartphones: para estocar os mais diversos tipos de felicidade em pixels, áudios e blocos de nota. Às vezes a necessidade de registo pode parecer uma fuga do presente, mas, pelo contrário, é a documentação da felicidade que estica o presente pra vida toda.”

“...I reread the work of my friend and mentor Amy Krouse Rosenthal, who'd died a few months earlier. She'd once written, 'For anyone trying to discern what to do w/ their life: PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU PAY ATTENTION TO. That's pretty much all the info u need.”
