“Falling in
love is really quite simple,” she says. “You want to know the secret?
It’s the same thing we are all doing about life every single day.”

“I'd always written how grief was hollow. How it was a vast cavern of nothing.
But I was wrong.

- Florence Day”

“You don't ever lose the sadness, but you learn to love it because it becomes a part of you, and bit by bit, it fades. And eventually, you'll pick yourself back up and you'll find that you're okay. That you're going to be okay. And eventually, it will be true.”
― Ashley Poston, The Dead Romantics
