Kindle Notes & Highlights
Rider’s gaze held mine again. “She understands that if I have to pick between you two, it’s not going to be her.”
Forever was something we all took for granted, but the problem with forever was that it really didn’t exist.
It’s heartbreaking how true this is…
But once you are Real you can’t become unreal again. It lasts for always.”
“And I want you to know that I heard what you said in that speech,” Rider said, his voice scratchy. “I might’ve saved you all those years ago, but now you’ve saved me.”
I still had a lot of work to do and that was my work to complete and it was my voice that needed to be heard when I needed to speak. No one else. It was me who had to carry myself over the finish line, and all I needed to remember when I felt like not trying was that that feeling wouldn’t last forever.
Forever wasn’t pain and grief. Forever wasn’t a problem. Forever was my heartbeat and it was the hope tomorrow held. Forever was the glistening silver lining of every dark cloud, no matter how heavy and thick it was. Forever was knowing moments of weakness didn’t equate to an eternity of them. Forever was knowing that I was strong.
