" I’ve come to the conclusion that there are no set rules in life. You do
what you have to do to survive. If that means running away from the love of
your life to preserve your sanity, you do it. If it means breaking someone’s
heart so yours doesn’t break; do it. Life is complicated — too much so for
there to be absolutes. We are all so broken. Pick up a person, shake them
around and you’ll hear the rattling of their broken pieces. Pieces our
fathers broke, or our mothers, or our friends, strangers, or our loves. Olivia
has stopped rattling quite as much as she used to. Love is a God-given
tool, she tells me. It screws things back in place that were loose, and it
cleans out all the broken pieces that you don’t need anymore. "
