“Sometimes, you can’t deal with it,” I answered honestly. “Some days are worse than others. It doesn’t matter where you are or who you’re with. You remember, and it feels like you’re drowning. Again. And again. But then you reach the surface, and you’re finally able to breathe. Ryder, the world is so beautiful once you’re above the water. It sucks when you’re drowning, but you have to hold on. You have to wait until you can breathe again, because it’s an amazing feeling. It’s…relief.”
