¿Qué será será?

“Hey. I was completely selfish, wasn’t I? I just confessed all my own sins, said everything I wanted to say, and trample all over your feelings. Then I ran, even though I know that sometimes in this world, you don’t get the chance to see someone again. I know that. But…if I’m just going to repeat history. Well, then, how’s that any different than knowing nothing at all? I’m sorry for making you cry. I’m sorry I hurt you so much. This is the last time. I’m fine with that. I don’t need another after this, but will you please give me one last chance? What I want is yo be with you. If I’m going to keep living, I wanna do it with you. You and nobody else. Because…I love you.”

i think one of my favorite things about emily henry’s writing (specifically in beach read and pwmov bc that’s what i’ve read so far) is the way she allows her characters to engage with and heal from their core childhood wounds, because it’s such a beautiful and deliberate way of saying that love heals without pushing that too far. love heals, but you have to be capable of and willing to change. love heals, but it’s not on any one person to fix you. it doesn’t make any of the problems you’re running from go away. if anything, it makes it harder to run, because the things you’re running away from are often the reasons you haven’t been able to give all of yourself to the person you want.
