What we expect rarely occurs; what we don't expect is what happens.

A second can feel like forever if what follows is heartbreak.

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

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.

I'll be ready. I'm not sure for what exactly. But maybe that's what being ready really means.

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.

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