Quote by Alison Espach

“Phoebe is disappointed, too. She didn’t have a speech, but she was still looking forward to getting up there, speaking in front of the crowd, saying nice things about what Lila has meant to her this week, and really taking her place as Lila’s friend. But maybe this is why Lila has no real friends, Phoebe thinks. She doesn’t know how to keep them. She keeps trading them in for something else.”

“Clingy friends are worth dying for. The ones who want to include you in every party they’re invited to. The ones who want you to be happy but also get a little jealous every time you talk about your new friends. The ones who take offence when someone says something even slightly bad about you. The ones you can call without dropping a text first and asking if it’s okay to call at the moment. The ones who know your favourite movie isn’t the one you ask everyone to watch— it’s the one you never mention to anyone because you don’t want to share it with others. The ones who know you feel too much. The ones who reassure you that just because you feel a lot doesn’t mean you are a lot. The ones who love you the way the rain loves flowers and poets love stars. The ones who are there for you on days when your heart is breaking, and also on the days when it’s blooming better than all your favourite flowers. There are some friends who make you feel like you’ve already found the loves of your life—hold on to them, always.”
