to be friends with, or people I hadn't seen in a long time. I cannot stand

When I was a very little girl, every morning I would wake before her and arrange myself so that when she woke, we were eye-to-eye. I miss her, with a never-ending ache that I did not think was possible, that crowds out any other feeling and certainly all reason, and any good sense.”

I could imagine it. I could remember it. But I couldn't see it again, and it occurred to me that the voracious ambition of humans is never sated by dreams coming true, because there is always the thought that everything might be done better and again.”

“I missed writing. Missed the quiet pulse of my fingers on a keyboard, the freedom of getting lost in the words. I missed feeling like I had something bigger to offer the world than fast coffee and polite smiles. But I didn’t have time for dreams right now. I had bills, I had pride, and I had a point to prove. So I got up every day and I worked. Because starting over is messy. But it’s also honest.”
