On the Way to You

by Kandi Steiner

“Life isn’t supposed to be safe,” she added with a laugh. “If it was, they wouldn’t call it living. They’d just call it existing. And you’ve existed long enough, baby girl. It’s time to live.”

This is one of my favorite quotes from this book. When I wrote it, I was at a time in my life when everything I'd known and found comfort in was changing. It was exhilarating to embrace the next chapter, and I felt that throughout this entire writing experience.

I practiced breathing, practiced laughing, practiced existing in every moment on the way to you so that when you found me, I’d know how to live.”
