“The cries of the other kids got louder: “The bus is on fire!”
“It’s going to explode!” and “We’re going to die!”
And I thought, They’re right. Yes, we’ll die. But it’s okay.
It’s fine. It is as it should be. We are going to die”
― Emmy Laybourne, Monument 14

“I am starting to accept
that you never loved me.
And it's sad
because I don't think you see
how beautiful you are to me.
Your face was the light
that chased away the shadows,
every nightmare, every fear.
But you burned out and now
I'm learning to be afraid
of the dark once again.”
― Sade Andria Zabala, Coffee and Cigarettes

“People get scared when you try to do something, especially when it looks like you're succeeding. People do not get scared when you're failing. It calms them. But when you're winning, it makes them feel like they're losing or, worse yet, that maybe they should've tried to do something too, but now it's too late. And since they didn't, they want to stop you. You can't let them.”
― Mindy Kaling, Why Not Me?
