Quote by Adam Silvera

“I'm not sure about this newness I should look forward too, but I know this begins with me trying to become my own rock. I've leaned on Jackson for the better part of this past month and Wade before that. Being my own rock is promising, but it would be a huge lie if I didn't admit that becoming a mountain with someone else could be equally rewarding.”

“Negative emotions are like waves - they rise up to their peak and then fall and fade away. We avoid negative emotions because they feel so bad, but also because they can sometimes feel like they will stay forever. We can become afraid that that sadness and loneliness or fear represents “reality” and that once we give into it that is what our life will be like. The truth is, when you open up to your negative emotions, they will come and they will go.”

“أخشى سأذهب للتسبح قليلاً. أخشى أن لا أعود.. الأمواج تغازلني وتدعوني للعشاء دوماً. أخشى أن أوافق على ملاقتهن.. أخشى أن أذهب.. أخشى أن لا اعود.. سأذهب للركض قليلاً . أخشى أن لا اعود.. الغيوم تنده اسمي باستمرار. أخشى ان ألبّي نداءاتهن.. اخشى ان أذهب يا أمي.. أخشى أن لا اعود..”

“Going against everything her heart was telling her to do, she took a step back again, creating the distance he clearly wanted. She had to stay resolute. It was less painful this way. Letting him go had to be less painful. And she had to do it while she still had the conviction. She was used to facing things alone and this was no different. She didn’t need him. She needed anything but him if she was going to get her life back on track. The last thing she needed was a broken heart. If any more threads that held it together were cut, she wasn’t sure it would ever repair again. And she knew Kane was more than capable of being the one to ruin her.”

“We have allowed ourselves very little space for not-knowing. Very seldom do we have the wisdom not-to-know, to lay the mind open to deeper understanding. When confusion occurs in the mind, we identify with it and say we are confused…Confusion arises because we fight against our not-knowing, which experiences each moment afresh without preconceptions or expectations.”
