parents taught me.”

“I know I said some things about needing space, but you are not the moon or the sun, a planet or a dwarf star. I do not know if distance from you will ever sit right with me.”
― Trista Mateer, Honeybee

“No one will ever be able to knock the wind out of me again.
Not like that.
Not like you.”
― Trista Mateer, Honeybee

“Some people will leave you. It will have everything to do with you and nothing to do with outside circumstances. You cannot sugarcoat it. You cannot dress it up and make it feel sweet or soft or warm. And it’s going to hurt you. I know your instinct will be to beg them to stay, to unpack their bags for them, to curl up by their wandering feet—but people are going to leave you. That is okay too.”
― Trista Mateer, Honeybee
