We Were Liars

by E. Lockhart

“The universe is seeming really huge right now,” he told me. “I need something to hold on to.”

“I think an inspirational quote can get you through hard times.”

“Be a little kinder than you have to.”

“What do you do then? When it’s like that?” “Nothing. I lie there and wait, and remind myself over and over that it doesn’t last forever. That there will be another day and after that, yet another day. One of those days, I’ll get up and eat breakfast and feel okay.” “Another day.” “Yes.”
