“The common theory about Mom’s passing was that, after losing Carrie, Debbie Reynolds died of a broken heart. Take it from the son who was there, who knew her better than anyone else on earth—that’s simply not true. Debbie Reynolds willed herself right off this planet to personally see to it that Carrie would never be alone.”
Todd Fisher, My Girls: A Lifetime with Carrie and Debbie

“It is the most counterintuitive aspect of Christianity, that we are declared right with God not once we begin to get our act together but once we collapse into honest acknowledgment that we never will.”

“Let me ask you something. Do you think there's such a thing as a perfect day?"
"What?"
"A perfect day. Start to finish. When nothing terrible or sad or ordinary happens. Do you think it's possible?"

"Have you ever had one?"
"No."
"I've never had one either, but I'm looking for it.”
Jennifer Niven, All the Bright Places

James Baldwin

Jennifer Niven
“Before I die, I want to...be the person I’m meant to be and have that be enough.”
