Kindle Notes & Highlights
I couldn’t talk about my happiness without touching the uncomfortable truth that everything I have now is built on everything I lost.
Life is flexible and has long legs and a million different ways to kick you right in the chops.
This is life after life after life, in all of the chaos and contradiction of feelings and doings and beings involved. There will be unimaginable joy and incomprehensible tragedy. There will be endings. But there will be no happy endings.
Even if they’re often heavy and unwieldy, our past lives are not baggage. They are not defects; they are features. Our past experiences—especially the hard ones—help us navigate the world around us and ahead of us.
