“Being alive is like watching the sun filter through rose-colored glass and sometimes it’s like clutching a piece of that broken glass in your palm. There is unbelievable joy and unspeakable pain and the key to being human is learning how to hold them both.”

the prose in this book flows like a song

“I remember the world is made of thorns and that we don’t get to choose how many times we get stuck. What matters is having people around to help us dig them out, to dig us out when we’re too deep in whatever it is we’re struggling with.”

I really like this quote

“Maybe that’s what makes our dreams so defiant; what makes the people who dream them so strong. That we carry them without knowing if we’ll ever find soil safe enough for them to bloom. That we tend to them even though someone else might come along and yank them up by the roots. We do it anyway. We dream and we hope and we fight.”

wow, I literally have no words. amazing insight
