Kindle Notes & Highlights
Avoidance seems like a pretty solid idea right now.
No matter what people want to believe, life is locked in the past. It’s all we are—a timeline of events that make up a person.

“Depends on which character you are.”
“That’s the thing with fear—conquer it, and you find freedom.”
There is no “getting better” after you realize that everything and everyone can fail you.
“It’s the upside of falling down,” Kieran says. “It’s why you jump in the first place . . . for that moment.”
That’s the truth about lies—when they linger, they slowly trick you into believing they’re the truth.
“You can’t be overwhelmed by the what-ifs, or you’ll miss out on the best part.”
“Don’t worry,” I say. “Just when you think your life is over, a new story line falls from the sky and lands right in your lap.”
