Kindle Notes & Highlights
There was something special about falling in love with fictional characters through words.
The feeling of security that someone was there to hold you up when gravity was too much to handle on your own, that you had someone you could trust enough to let go.
“I’m just a boy…standing in front of a girl, asking her to love him.”
That little girl who had spent her days crying, who had tried her very best to figure out why her mother couldn’t love her enough to hold on to her, who couldn’t understand why her grandmother would never love her like she needed to be loved…that same little girl who along the way had understood and accepted that not everybody gets to have their own happily ever after in this world…that girl in me…that hopeful little girl in me just smiled that day. She smiled, and smiled, and smiled, and smiled.
