“Sometimes, when you know a good thing is over and done and won’t ever come back, everything about it gets a whole lot sweeter. Each little leaf becomes something beautiful. You see the sunlight glowing through it, tracing out all those tiny veins inside. Each blade of grass is suddenly its own living thing, and not just one of a billion others that you stomp over on your way somewhere else. Suddenly it all appears in a way you’ve never seen it before, and it’s so beautiful you wonder what in the world you were looking at in all the time that came before.”
― Bill Rivers, Last Summer Boys

“The hardest thing to do is to be true to yourself especially when everybody is watching”
― Dave Chappelle

“There was a silent moment when everything held its breath, and then the sun rose.”
― S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders

“Sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that you've been ruined.”
― Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
