Kindle Notes & Highlights
It was what I told myself as I looked up into the night sky and counted every prayer which had gone unanswered. Then, I selfishly added one more.
my own body did not feel safe enough for my mind.
Because the things about myself I wanted to hide, I found, were never hidden well at all.
It was the stars who believed in the dark when the earth had feared it, but it was darkness that made the stars shine the brightest—together they found a home in each other’s orbit.
Love was expendable. It could be sacrificed, misused, or destroyed. What it could not be is forgotten. The pain of remembering was irreplaceable, even when memories were lost.
It was never a good thing to see someone both young and wise.
I have never feared death, but I have always feared living. Living meant I had hope, and hope has always been a far heavier burden than death. There would be nothing for me to regret if I never allowed my desire to exist.
