... love requires no external proof, how you have to be able to hold love inside. I hate when my therapist says this, as if after everything I've been through, the people I love shouldn't be willing to chase me down with the evidence of how much I matter.

We talked mostly about love and freedom from fear. I told her about how my life contained neither.

I had no habit of talking to God, who I had encountered only at funerals and in my mother's admonitions of me ...

Although I cut myself, I didn't want to die.

I'd lost Sebastian to medical school, Lila to her son. I had felt acutely what it was like to no longer be the most important person in anyone's life.
