His writing is as much a survival map as it is a love letter to the people who keep showing up, even when the world makes it hard. S. E. has worked hard to be able to laugh and move forward to embrace the joy in t ...more

Quotes by S.E. Thomson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Remind yourself every day that love is not an object. You can’t give love like it’s something to hand over, wrapped up in a gesture or a perfectly timed response. You can’t trade it like a currency or expect it to be evenly exchanged. Love is not a transaction; it’s not something you earn, owe, or outsource. It can only be created in you.”
S.E. Thomson, A Life in Too Many Margins
