“I’d found out that when you’re never going to see someone again, it’s not the good-bye that matters. What matters is that you’re never going to be able to say anything else to them, and you’re left with an eternal unfinished conversation.”

“I beg you. With all my heart and soul, I beg you. Please be happy. The truth is, there are no scales to balance, we can all be happy.

Through whatever means, even though it can be hard, or even close to impossible, be happy, somehow, be happy.”
