“It's not that we want others to fail, but we need to know that our own sorrows have echoes in others people's lives. That's what connects us. Strength may be impressive, but it's vulnerability that builds friendships.”
― Jessica Pan, Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come: An Introvert's Year of Living Dangerously

“Always be quiet when a heart is breaking.”
― Meg Shaffer, The Wishing Game

“It suits you, that laugh. I’m glad they didn’t manage to take it from you.” “Who?” “All the people who have tried.”
― Fredrik Backman, My Friends

“Loneliness, on the other hand, has no age bracket. I used to think that exciting countries could keep you happy and warm on novelty alone.
