Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You know what I think about the word fine. It really stands for fucked up, insecure, neurotic, and emotional.”
When you lost someone you loved, it made it hard to let go of anyone else—even if they didn’t have your best interests at heart.
“Loss has a way of carving itself into your bones. It shouldn’t be any other way.”
You simply had to do your best to make something beautiful out of the shattered pieces.
“If there are whoopie pies in there, I’ll marry you. It’ll be a loveless, sexless marriage, you understand. But I’ll marry you.” I barked out a laugh. “Looks like we’re getting hitched.”
“Doing the things that cause us pain sometimes brings the greatest reward in the end. You know you were strong enough to make it through, and the view from where you’ve gotten to is always that much sweeter.”
“We all bring baggage into relationships. But it’s nice to have someone help us carry it for a while.”
“How about I promise you today? And I’ll do it again tomorrow. And every day until we’re old and gray.”
“Grief changes us. We just have to make sure it doesn’t twist us into something ugly. And, sometimes, if we’re lucky, it can make us more beautiful because we recognize pain and can help ease it in others.”
