“there are 25 ways to say goodbye n I refuse to do any of them the time on my oven is off by 35 minutes this is also a way I live in the past if nostalgia is the one-story house you live in I will be outside watering the roses”

“Gradually, I start to understand why they are all so desperate to differentiate themselves and yet can't outright trash one another, why they are all so legibly diplomatic: It's because none of their authors have recovered. They want recovery and they want to be of use but if they have to pick? They'll take the recovery. Or, as a consolation prize, the catharsis. Alas, as the Italian author Natalia Ginzburg wrote, "You cannot hope to console yourself for your grief by writing. You cannot deceive yourself by hoping for caresses and lullabies from your vocation." What you can do is be careful with other people. Human beings are solid things made out of delicate materials.

“I love being alone. But being lonely is how it feels when I think about how Kennedy and Jack might like working with each other more than working with me. Being lonely is going to Jennifer Lam's house for a sleepover. It's how I'll never understand why my parents can't just be here. It's not being chosen, time and time and time again. It makes you wonder what is so deeply wrong with you.”
