“Some days you will feel like the ocean. Some days you will feel like you are drowning in it.”

“Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.”

“I had no idea what I wanted, only that I wanted something, which is the worst kind of wanting.”

"Because if you have the sort of brain that thinks and thinks and never stops, and a heart that feels and feels and never lets up, you have to distract yourself like you’ll die if you don’t."
