“It's not that deep down I want someone to "take care of me," it's that I'm exhausted, and occasionally overwhelmed by self-doubt. I'm steering the ship, but I don't know what I'm doing. None of us do. But it would be *so nice* to believe that someone out there did, and that maybe they could take the wheel for a little while.”
― Anna Kendrick, Scrappy Little Nobody

“You tread lightly through life, but you leave deep footprints that are hard for other people to fill.”

“These days, loneliness is the new cancer—a shameful, embarrassing thing, brought upon yourself in some obscure way.

― Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine
