“Attraction isn’t something that only happens once, with one person. It’s part of what drives humans. Our attraction to each other, to art, to food, to entertainment. Attraction is fun.

“You’re a sacrificer. I don’t even know if that’s a real word, but that’s what you are. You do things you don’t want to do to make life better for the people around you. Like being the designated driver. That doesn’t make you boring. It makes you a hero.”
― Colleen Hoover, Regretting You

“Clara isn’t struggling because Chris is no longer here. She’s struggling because he’s never coming back. There’s a difference.”
