"I believe in some blending of hope and sunshine sweetening the worst lots. I believe that this life is not all; neither the beginning nor the end. I believe while I tremble, I trust while I weep."
“After you left, I used to spend hours thinking about you. I just kept looking for you. I kept hoping that you would come back. At some point, it just became too painful to think about you anymore. So I just pretended that you weren’t important to me. I shut down. It’s easier not to feel anything about anything.. but I don’t wanna do that anymore. I wanna lie here with you forever.” - Jane

“Why do things this beautiful make me want to cry?” I asked Michael as I leaned into him. It was an unguarded question, one I’d never have asked of Hugh.
“I don’t know,” said Michael. “Maybe beauty, true beauty, is so overwhelming, it goes straight to our hearts. Maybe it makes us feel emotions that are locked away inside.”

I feel my life is so scattered right now. Like it’s all these small pieces of paper and someone’s turned on the fan. But talking to you makes me feel like the fan’s been turned off for a little bit. Like things could actually make sense. You completely unscatter me, and I appreciate that so much.

Beautiful things aren’t supposed to make you sad.
