i love her but she’s really testing me rn

"...love doesn't care about whether or not you have your shit together, or if you're a grieving mess. Love doesn't care if you're anxious or depressed, or drowning in everyday life. Love just loves."

"Having your shit together is not a prerequisite for love."

"I've built up this thick wall that keeps me from feeling the pain, but it also kept me from feeling anything. Something inside that wall rattled loose when I met Henry, at first a slow trickle, then a stream, now a tsunami."

"It's like my grief has tethered me to myself, the walls of sadness like shrink-wrap surrounding all sides of me until I can barely breathe. Any movement I make, any step forward or back, is too painful. The smaller and smaller my world becomes, the more daunting it is to try to move out of the hurt."
