“Being together was as easy and natural as being alone without any of the loneliness.” 🥹

"Khakis just make a person look like they're both pantless *and* void of a personality."

erm, Ted Lasso would beg to differ

"We'll try on our hometown the same way we've been trying on New York together. We'll see how it fits, where we want to be."

"If I can't love you at Times Square then I don't deserve you in a used bookstore."

"I didn't know regular life could feel like this, like a vacation you don't have to go home from."

"Ending with a Jimmy Stewart reference AND a You've Got Mail / Cafe Lalo reference? Excellent."

"the safest thing was those quick, serendipitous moments with strangers"

"Most of us are too scared to even ask what we want, in case we can't have it."

"I know that there's still no other job out there calling to me, the obvious answer to my unhappiness, and that this one, which has been amazing for a good portion of the last four and a half years, lately has only left me tired. And all of that adds up to having no fucking clue where I go next."

"It's the very fact that it's finite that makes traveling special. You could move to any of those destinations you loved in small doses, and it wouldn't be the spellbinding, life-altering seven days you spent there as a guest, letting a place into your heart fully, letting it change you."
