Kindle Notes & Highlights
Never say no when you really want to say yes.”
It’s the kind of memory I like best—more of a feeling than an actual remembrance. The hum of a memory, blurry around the edges, soft and nothing particularly special, all kind of blending into one moment.
I have a feeling that when I’m Stormy’s age, these everyday moments will be what I remember:
Is this how it goes? You fall in love, and nothing seems truly scary anymore, and life is one big possibility?
We’ve all had our own cars and been driving ourselves around for so long, but pulling into the school parking lot and seeing all the parents waiting there for us feels like being in elementary school again, like coming back from a field trip. It’s a nice feeling.
For the first time ever, all of the Song girls will be living truly apart. We three probably won’t ever live in the same house together again. We’ll come home for holidays and school breaks, but it won’t be the same. It won’t be what it was.
it feels like everything all around me is shifting in ways I didn’t expect, when all I want is for things to stand still.
It’s a rare thing, to know someone so well, whether they’ll pivot left or right.
Families shrink and expand. All you can really do is be glad for it, glad for each other, for as long as you have each other.
“You can’t protect him from being hurt, babe, no matter what you do. Being vulnerable, letting people in, getting hurt… it’s all a part of being in love.”
Things are ending, but they are beginning, too.
