Ada Limon
“A view
of some tree breathing and the mind’s wheels
ease up on the pavement’s tug. That tree,
that one willowy thing over there,
can save a life, you know? It saves
by not trying, a leaf like some note
slipped under the locked blue door
(bathtub full, despair’s drunk),
a small live letter that says only, Stay.
Ada Limon, Bright Dead Things

“I’ve seen him become sober so many times and do so well, and struggle to be a right guy. And fall apart again. But to what end?”
Sharon Stone, The Beauty of Living Twice

Michelle Zauner
“Hers was tougher than tough love. It was brutal, industrial-strength. A sinewy love that never gave way to an inch of weakness. It was a love that saw what was best for you ten steps ahead, and didn't care if it hurt like hell in the meantime. When I got hurt, she felt it so deeply, it was as though it were her own affliction. She was guilty only of caring too much. I realize this now, only in retrospect. No one in this would would ever love me as much as my mother, and she would never let me forget it.”
Michelle Zauner, Crying in H Mart

Ada Limon
“The dog does this beautiful thing,
it waits. It stills itself and determines that
the waiting is essential.”
Ada Limon, Bright Dead Things

Michelle Zauner
“I remember these things clearly because that was how my mother loved you, not through white lies and constant verbal affirmation, but in subtle observations of what brought you joy, pocketed away to make you feel comforted and cared for without even realizing it.”
Michelle Zauner, Crying in H Mart
