The ability to keep your mouth shut is usually a sign of intelligence

I don't want to know how you did it. I want to believe you are magic.

When you care about other people, it takes the spotlight off your own drama.

For someone grieving, moving forward is the challenge. Because after extreme loss, you want to go back.

I force myself to think of anything but the one thing that I'm actually always thinking about. And that is so exhausting that I sleep more than I ever have.

And just being there is ninety-nine percent of what matters when your world falls apart

I somehow make it through the first month. I dress and brush my teeth when they tell me to. And I experience the hollow feeling of complete loss, which is emptiness.
