Reminders of Him

by Colleen Hoover

In the end, if there’s nothing good going on in your life, almost every song becomes depressing, no matter what it’s about.

Maybe if I acknowledge all the good things, no matter how small, they’ll add up to make the bad things in my life less painful.

You think you know how you’ll react in a terrifying situation, but that’s the thing. You can’t think in a terrifying situation. There’s probably a reason for how disconnected we become to our own thoughts in moments of sheer horror.

Maybe it doesn’t matter whether something is a coincidence or a sign. Maybe the best way to cope with the loss of the people we love is to find them in as many places and things as we possibly can. And in the off chance that the people we lose are still somehow able to hear us, maybe we should never stop talking to them.
