“I miss you, too sounds glib. You have been missing from me is more accurate. There's a void where you live in me”

“Unhealed trauma is a crack. And all the little hard things that trickle into it that would have rolled off someone else, settle. Then when life gets cold, that crack gets bigger, longer, deeper. It makes new breaks. You don’t know how broken she was or what she was trying to do to fill those cracks. Being broken is not an excuse for bad behavior, you still have to make good choices and do the right thing. But it can be the reason. And sometimes understanding the reason can be what helps you heal.”

“Sometimes I feel like the seasons could come and go and come and go, a hundred years could pass, a thousand, the ground could collapse under us, this house could crumble and go back to the earth, and we would still be standing here frozen in time, because every second I’m with you is eternal. I’ve never felt anything like it.”
― Abby Jimenez, Just for the Summer

“I'd wanted so badly to escape myself, my life, that I forgot about all the beautiful little pieces of it I've been acquiring like sea glass these last few months. Things that no one can take from me.”
― Emily Henry, Funny Story
