Famous Britnee Meiser Quotes

“Ask two people to paint an apple, and you'll get two different-looking fruits. The core parts will probably be the same: the color, the shape, the stem. But the details, and the intention behind them—that's where the differences will be. Ask two people to preserve a memory, and the same thing happens. That's because memory is a workable thing, kind of like art. You can mold it and shape it, build it up or beat it down. The important bits will stay the same, but the details are going to change depending on who is doing the remembering, or when, or why. So how do you accurately and honestly preserve a memory? Well, you can't. But you can try. …. You can't preserve a memory, I think again as I walk away. All you can do is hold each other tight while the moment lasts and then know when it's time to let go.”

“I sit for what feels like a long time, knowing that when I close the lid on the box, I'll be doing the same thing to Jack, and to the girl I was when I loved him. Maybe my mom is right—maybe it won't be forever—but for now I'm accepting the fact that it could be. I'll walk away knowing I've given him all my bests. Now I've got nothing left. I put the lid on the box and cover it with dirt until it disappears. I wipe the dust from my hands. A clean slate.”
