“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.”
