22 " I cannot fight my way through these fucking shadows on my own. - no light, no sun. "
23 " I always believed that if I was able to make them stay, they would make me forget every bad thing that ever happened to me. They always told me that they would rescue me from myself & I was foolish enough to believe them.- bittersweet "
24 " Whenever it feels like your world is crashing down all around you, the sun will always be there to warm you between the wrath of the storm. "
25 " You carried your demons & you tried your best to shouldermine, too. Yours were just too heavy a burdento take onthe load. "
26 " They do not pretend to deserve me; better yet, they do not even pretend that they can save me. They do not view me as a broken, feathered thing they can mend up if they scoop me into their hands and show me enough attention. In time, they know that I will stretch across the skies again, but not before I'm ready. - not before I mend my own wing. "
27 " Grief will never truly bedone with you. When you're ready,take it in your hands like a paintbrush.like a charcoal.like a pen. Turn it into a thing thatcould hang in museums. - masterpiece "
28 " When life gives us new beginnings, we need to take them, because there are never enough of them. "
29 " what do we do with all the things we need to say to someone we’ll never see again? - maybe that’s why i write. "
30 " you never know what you’ll be allowed to bring with you into the unknown. - what if it’s nothing? "
31 " inside the drywall, i imagine years of collected stories & laughter burrowed like chestnuts from stowaway squirrels. my secrets are hidden among them, too—the ones you expertly ignored so you could still look at me & see the perfect daughter who never existed. "
32 " One minute, you were here; the next, you had already gone. Now I'm terrified to leave a room without saying goodbye to everyone inside of it first. - what if they disappear like you did? "
