You've Reached Sam (You've Reached Sam, #1)

by Dustin Thao

I realize it doesn’t matter where we’re going next, as long as we’re together.

“We have too many voices inside our heads. You have to pick out the ones that mean something to you. What story do you want to tell?”

You want to feel something. Something meaningful, and intense. You want to feel that thing in your heart and stomach. You want to be moved. To care about something, or fall in love, you know? And you want it to feel real. And different. And exciting.”

“You have to live in the moment sometimes. Let life surprise you.”

Letting go isn’t about forgetting. It’s balancing moving forward with life, and looking back from time to time, remembering the people in it.”

“Plans don’t always work out how we expect them to.”

You are my entire world, Julie. And one day, maybe I’ll only be a small piece of yours. I hope you keep that piece.”
