“Loneliness isn’t an absence of company. Loneliness is felt when we are lost. But we can be lost right in the middle of a crowd. There is nothing lonelier than being with people who aren’t on your wavelength. The cure for loneliness isn’t more people. The cure for loneliness is understanding who we are.”
― Matt Haig, The Comfort Book

“in a world trying to increasingly isolate us from our environment and our true selves, books are our route to freedom, and to each other'.”
― Matt Haig

“People raised on love see things differently than those raised on survival.”
― Joy Marino

“before i could release
the weight of my sadness
and pain, i first had
to honor its existence.”
