“There are parts I wish didn’t exist, parts I can’t look away from now. In one way or another, this is the deal we all sign when we love someone. For better or worse. It’s the deal we have to sign again and again to keep that love. We don’t turn away from the parts of someone we don’t want to see. However quickly or long it takes to see them. We accept them if we are strong enough. Or we accept them enough to not let the bad parts become the entire story.”
― Laura Dave, The Last Thing He Told Me

“If I could cry it might all be better, but I can’t. It’s like an ability I’ve lost, like a language I’ve forgotten.”
