Quote by Braelyn Wilson

“But if she was not loved by anyone else in the world, she was loved... by me. And my love for her, Brantley Thornton, was and is unequivocal. And the flame that sets out hearts ablaze continues to burn now, fiercer and more powerful than ever. Though tragic and ephemeral, our story was the quintessence of love.”

“You see, people believe that depressed people are numb. Numb to any feelings and any sensations. That they cannot feel anything, when... when that is the farthest thing from what is actually going on. In reality, depressed people, we are the ones who feel the most, among everyone. We feel our emotions, our pain, ragingly, roaringly, through the rooftops and written across skylines. That is why we suffer the most. I think that is why I suffered in the way I did.”

“You made me so happy, but that does not mean I was a happy person. It does not mean I had a happy mind and a happy soul. The trick to living life is to find happiness and love in everything you do, Caspian Marks. And I did. I found love and I found happiness in you, but you, you were the sole person alive who was a contributor to that. I could not find love and happiness in everything that I did, because you were the only thing I knew that was worthy of love.”

“My life... it did mean something. And though it may have not mattered in the grand scheme of things, per se, it did matter. It took me a long time to come to terms with that, but it did. It did matter while I was still here, still living and breathing about as a human being would. And most of all, at the end of the day, not only did it matter in the grand scheme of things, but it mattered to me.”

“Whether I meant something to this world, whether I meant something to myself, whether I had a true, genuine life purpose or not, it did not matter. Not anymore, not to me. Because I may have not mattered to the world or in the grand scheme of things, just as you, Caspian Marks, had said I would. But I mattered to the most important person in my world. I mattered... to you.”

“So live your life and conquer the world, because it is your world. It is your world and all of us... we are all simply living in it. Every last one of us. This world revolves around you, this world revolves for you, and this world remains to turn and always will for as long as you live... because of you. So you go and you live and you learn and you love, with everything you have in you.”

“I’m letting you go. I’m freeing you. You are no longer mine, Caspian Marks. And when I look back at it, you never were, and I don’t know why for any fraction of a second I would have come to that conclusion. You have never belonged to me. You have never belonged to anyone. But you do, and always have and probably always will, belong to this earth. You are the universe’s child. You will belong to this earth and I will belong to the stars, for now.”

“I may be leaving this earth, but I will remain in the stars. I will watch over you and protect you, and when it is your time and you are ready to find me once more, you will fall into my arms. And when you do, all the planets and asteroids and stars and specks of dust in this endless universe will sigh in unison, because they will all know that our souls found their way together—somehow, someway, just as they were always supposed to.”

“He and Hattie had once been genuinely close, but ever since puberty, Jasper had been reduced to the level of a satellite, watching his friends as they breezed through their adolescence. He’d always taken a detached interest in it all, thinking, in his anxious disconnect from the others, that he was somehow better off compared to them – but, all in all, he had little to show for his time on this Earth, apart from just sort of being ‘there’.”
