there’s a difference between knowledge and technology. Knowledge doesn’t fail us.

Every minute you spend with someone gives them a part of your life and takes part of theirs.

For what is the point of having something lovely if you never share it?

Growing apart doesn’t change the fact that for a long time we grew side by side; our roots will always be tangled.

This is a difficult balance, telling the truth: how much to share, how much to keep, which truths will wound but not ruin, which will cut too deep to heal.
