“It's a dark place, not knowing. It's difficult to surrender to. But I guess it's where we live most of the time. I guess it's where we all live, so maybe it doesn't have to be so lonely. Maybe I can settle into it, cozy up to it, make a home inside uncertainty.”

“The sun stopped shining for me is all. The whole story is: I am sad. I am sad all the time and the sadness is so heavy that I can't get away from it. Not ever.”

“You're never going to be ready"..."Don't you see that? You have to forget about ready. If you don't, you're always going to run away”

“The best things aren't perfectly constructed. They aren't illusions. they aren't larger than life. They are life.”

“I’ll make a swing so I can reach the places I can’t reach yet.”

“Each time a breeze starts, I feel the air all the way through me.”

“There are still Ava Maddoxes to find and sets to create and girls to kiss and colleges to attend. It's possible that someday I will hear a patsy Cline song and the heartbreak will barely register. It will be some distant, buried feeling. I won't remember how much it once hurt.”
