“Sometimes you want things to change so badly, you can’t even stand to be in the same room with the way things actually are.”
― Ali Benjamin, The Thing About Jellyfish

“There are so many things to be scared of in this world: blooms of jellies. A sixth extinction. A middle school dance. But maybe we can stop feeling so afraid. Maybe instead of feeling like a mote of dust, we can remember that all the creatures on this Earth are made from stardust.
And we are the only ones who get to know it.
That's the thing about jellyfish: They'll never understand that. All they can do is drift along, unaware.
Humans may be newcomers to this planet. We may be plenty fragile. But we're also the only ones who can decide to change.”
― Ali Benjamin, The Thing About Jellyfish

“THE TRICK TO ANYTHING IS JUST BELIEVING you can do it. When you believe in your own ability to do something, even something scary, it gives you an almost magic power. Confidence is magic. It can carry you through everything.”
― Ali Benjamin, The Thing About Jellyfish

“There’s no single right way to say goodbye to someone you love. But the most important thing is that you keep some part of them inside you.”
