Funny Story

by Emily Henry

There was no point clinging to something that wasn’t really yours.

And I stopped longing for him when I accepted this, because how could I miss someone who didn’t exist? So why can’t I seem to do the same thing with my father? Why can’t I stop missing the dad I never had? Why is he this constant dull ache in my heart?

Don’t love anyone who isn’t ready to love you back.

Don’t wait on people who don’t hurry for you.
