“The hardest memories are the pieces of what might have been.”
Deborah Smith

“There’s something very freeing about losing the anchors that have always defined you. Frightening, sad, but exhilarating in a poignant way, as well. You’re free to float to the moon and evaporate or sink to the bottom of the deepest ocean. But you’re free to explore. Some people confuse that with drifting, I suppose. I like to think of it as growing.”
Deborah Smith, The Crossroads Cafe

“Wish it, believe it, and it will be so.”
Deborah Smith, Alice at Heart
