“Nature is fine in love, fine as in thin and delicate, as in not firm. We move to attach, more than we understand, to things and people we love that we feel might be an anchoring point for this fine, precious love. When those anchors disappear, a part of us disappears, too. Well, that’s how it was for me at least.”
― Lauren Roedy Vaughn, OCD, the Dude, and Me

“Everyone forgets Icarus also flew.”
