How to Share an Egg Quotes

“Someone can love you as much as it's possible to love. He can guide you and shield you and tell you everything he knows. He can share the truths he's learned through on of the most brutal events in human history. Still, they are his truths. No matter how vast his experience, no matter how much he has overcome, someone else's truth cannot be your truth. Nobody knows the path you're supposed to take; the decisions you must make to define your own journey toward independent selfhood. That job is yours and yours alone.”

“Grief is not what I thought it would be. It comes over me at random moments- a pressure behind the eyes. A crawling under the skin. My insides feel disorganized and chaotic. A light has been left on in the closet. Each tiny bit of disorder adds to a hot ball of anger growing inside me. I find myself yelling about nothing.”
