Meaning. If you're going to die, you want to find meaning in life. You want to connect the dots.
Franny BillingsleyIf you say a word, it leaps out and becomes the truth. I love you. I believe it. I believe I am loveable. How can something as fragile as a word build a whole world?
Franny BillingsleyThis is what I want. I want people to take care of me. I want them to force comfort upon me. I want the soft-pillow feeling that I associate with memories of being ill when I was younger, soft pillows and fresh linens and satin-edged blankets and hot chocolate. It's not so much the comfort itself as knowing there's someone who wants to take care of you.
Franny BillingsleyPeople think me a sort of Florence Nightingale, but I have no heroic qualities. I simply donโt feel very much.
