“And so, does the destination matter? Or is it the path we take? I declare that no accomplishment has substance nearly as great as the road used to achieve it. We are not creatures of destinations.

“I was always waiting. Waiting for him to be off so he could call. Waiting for him to get a second to text me, waiting for him to watch the reel I sent him two hours ago when he was in surgery. Waiting for him to come back. My life felt like it was on pause. I didn’t see movies I wanted to watch so he could see them with me when he got here. I held off on going places because I’d rather go with him so we could experience it together. I didn’t take my friends up on dinners because after work was the only time of day my boyfriend and I could talk.”
― Abby Jimenez, Say You'll Remember Me
