Follow the River (River of Rain, #1)

by C.E. Ricci

Into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.

Staring up at the night sky, it’s the best way to remember we are so much smaller than we make ourselves out to be.

“You have me. You will always have me. Until every star in the night sky burns out. And maybe even then.”

It’s giving the darkest parts of yourself to another human, saying this is who I am in all my fucked up glory, and not asking them to fix you, but to give you what you need to mend yourself.

“Sure did, Coach. I lost my mind and found my soul.”
