“Sometimes you do things that feel bad later just so you don't feel worse right now.”

“I want to be still and small, and not have to man up or act like everything's okay, but the thing about living in a house where someone is sick is, it's like they have a monopoly on it. If one person is always needing things , then no one else is really allowed to.”

“I'm better at being sorry.”
― Brenna Yovanoff, Places No One Knows

“I want to be William Shakespeare and Galileo and Robert Frost. I want to be Sappho. I want to be Jane Austen. I want to be Holden Caulfield and Marilyn Monroe and Joan of Arc. I’m sad to think they came before me in history, they made their mark without me.
But they were there.
They happened.”
