As all good and unbearable perfectionists know, if you want something done right, you mostly have to do it yourself.
“But it was one thing to live your dreams in theory—and it was absolutely another thing to clumsily, awkwardly, terrifiedly do it for real.”
― The Rom-Commers

“Whatever story you tell yourself about your life, that's the one that'll be true.
So if I say, "This terrible thing happened, and it ruined my life" - then that's true. But if I say, "This terrible thing happened, but, as crazy as it sounds, it made me better," then that's what's true.”
― The Rom-Commers

“I had a theory that we gravitate toward the stories we need in life. Whatever we are looking for- adventure, excitement, emotion, connection-we turn to stories that help us find it. Whatever questions we’re struggling with- sometimes ones so deep, we don’t even really know we’re asking them- we look for answers in stories.”

“If you wait for other people to light you up, then I guess you're at the mercy of darkness.”
