“I thought that it was more likely the opposite. I must have shut grief out. Found it in books. Cried over fiction instead of the truth. The truth was unconfined, unadorned.

The truth was vast enough to drown in.”
― Nina LaCour, We Are Okay

“I was okay just a moment ago. I will learn how to be okay again.”
