“How did he keep going while carrying all that loss and fear? He let himself feel it—she’d witnessed that—but then he just…kept moving forward. Kept living fully. That’s strength.”

“He is not. That is a simulacrum. You carry the true him in your heart, or the him as he could have been, and there is no shame in that. Allow yourself to feel what your heart wishes to feel. Do not deny your pain.”That was…actually nice to hear. So many friends told her to forget him, that he wasn’t worth a single tear, that he didn’t deserve her pain, but that didn’t make it hurt any less,

“I don’t care if it’s in Antarctica. I’ll buy a parka and learn how to speak penguin.”

“Sometimes love is greedy, kiddo.” My dad sets his mouth in a firm line. “Sometimes it’s a little bit selfish, too. You think it’s never crossed my mind that your mom deserves something better than the life we carved out for ourselves here? It has. A million times. A million and one. But I’m holding onto her with both hands. I’m trusting her to make her own choices. To choose me.”

“seasons change and so do we”🌟🫶🏼

“Things with us have never been simple or easy, but I’d rather be messy with you than have perfect with anyone else.”

This might be the cutest thing i’ve ever read my gooddd😭😭😭

Jackson is splayed out in the snow, his hat gone, his blond hair a mess against the fluffy white behind him. There are snowflakes on his coat, across his crooked glasses that I think I might have broken for a second time, and he’s—
He’s laughing.
Jackson is laughing so hard his eyes are scrunched shut, his body trembling beneath mine.

So cute omg!

Penelope beams at me. “Love you.”
I roll my eyes. “Love you too.”
“What about me?” Adeline grumps.
“Yes, you as well.” I give her my full attention so she knows I mean it. My softhearted girl. A reluctant smile brightens her face.
“And me?” Aiden calls from somewhere in the background. “Do you love me, Jackson?”
“You are questionable.”
“You are also taken,” Lucie adds”

“And yet there was nothing perfect about it. Not in the traditional sense. We were in pajamas. We weren’t on a date, standing under the moon. We were next to a sink full of dirty dishes and a crusty waffle iron. There wasn’t music playing or candlelight or rose petals. But it was perfect. I wouldn’t have changed a single thing about it.”

- loving this so much😭😭😭

“Jussin!” She hugged my legs for a split second, then launched off me and climbed into a chair. “Yay!” she squealed, seeing the Happy Meal.
I started setting her up, opening her box of nuggets and peeling the top off the sweet-and-sour sauce.”

Cutest thing ever omg🥹

“Maybe love shouldn’t be built on a foundation of compromises, but maybe it can’t exist without them either.
Not the kind that forces two people into shapes they don’t fit in, but the kind that loosens their grips, always leaves room to grow”

“This, I think, is what it is to dream, and I finally understand why Mom could never give it up, why my authors can’t give it up, and I’m happy for them, because this wanting, it feels good, like a bruise you need to press on, a reminder that there are things in life so valuable that you must risk the pain of losing them for the joy of briefly having them.”

“Somehow, it never occurred to me that this was an option: that two people, in the same hug, could both be allowed to fall apart. That maybe it’s neither of our jobs to keep a steel spine.
That we can both survive this pain without the other shouldering it.”

“Things were allowed to be complicated. They were allowed to be messy. We were allowed to disagree and argue and even hurt each other, on occasion, and it didn’t mean it was time to let the revolving door of life carry us away from each other. Sometimes things are hard. They just are.”

“Yes, they are,” she replied, but James could see she was not convinced. “Which is why I’m surprised Carlo didn’t demand to have personal vengeance over his lost testicle.” James squeezed the bridge of his nose, desperate to be away from this conversation even as Georgie declared, “Because he’s now possessed of only half his courage!”

- omg just started laughing out loud so much I almost choke

“When I told him I didn’t want to feel sad anymore, he gave me a smile that wished it could take my pain. Grief, he explained to me gently, is a process that has only a beginning.”

“She explained through choking sobs that without grief, love would be meaningless. Because it is impossible to truly love something that cannot be lost.”
