The Fire Between High & Lo Quotes

“Because at the end of the day, we’re all lost. We’re all cracked. We’re all scarred. We’re all broken. We’re all just trying to figure out this thing called life, you know? Sometimes it feels so lonely, but then you remember your core tribe. The people who sometimes hate you, but never stop loving you. The people who always show up, no matter how many times you’ve fucked up and pushed them away. That’s your tribe. These people, these struggles, this is my tribe. So yeah, we fall apart, but we’ll fall together. We’ll stand up—together. Then, at the end of all the bullshit, all of the tears, all of the hurt, we’ll take a few steps at a time. Then we’ll take a few deep breaths, and we’ll walk each other home.”

“I’m still in love with you,” he repeated walking closer to me. “I’ve tried to stop it. I tried to ignore it.
I tried to wish it away, but it won’t leave. Whenever you’re near me, I want you closer. Whenever you
laugh, I want the sound to never fade. Whenever you’re sad, I want to kiss your tears away. I know all of
the reasons that I shouldn’t want to be with you. I know that I can never be forgiven for what happened all
those years ago, but I also know that I still love you. You’re still the fire that keeps me warm when life
becomes cold. You’re still the voice that keeps the darkness at bay. You’re still the reason my heart beats.
You’re still the air in my lungs. You’re still my greatest high. And I am still truly, madly, painfully in love
with you. And I don’t think I’ll ever know how to stop.”

“There’s so much wonder in the world, but instead of giving a damn, and taking the time to come to the realization that we are all very, very, small in a very, very miniature place, we like to pretend we are the alphas of the whole universe. We like to make ourselves feel big. And we each like to make our way seem like the best way, and our hurts seem like the biggest hurts, when really, we are nothing more than a tiny burning dot that makes up a part of the giant sky. A tiny dot that no one would even notice was missing. A tiny dot, that will soon enough be replaced by another speck which thinks it’s more important than it actually is. I just wish people would sometimes stop fighting about stupid mundane things like race, sexual orientation, and reality television. I wish they would remember how small they are and take five minutes a day to look up to the sky and breathe.” “Logan?”

And that thought alone is enough to get me through each night of loneliness.”
