“Love grew out of shared memories, shared stories, shared laughter. Love was a result of knowing the many things a person did that annoyed you to the ends of the earth, and yet, somehow, still wanting to hold them at the end of every day, and be held by then at sunrise every morning. Love was the comfort of knowing someone would stand by you, accept you, despite all your eccentricities, all your faults. Maybe loving you, in part, because of them.”
― Marissa Meyer, Cursed

“It’s in vain to recall the past, unless it works some influence upon the present.” Charles Dickens, David Copperfield”

“When your parent clocks out before you clock in, you can spend way too much of your life staring into that black hole.”
