“...wanting things for the wrong reasons can turn anyone's life into a marshmallow on a stick over a hot fire: impossibly messy and eventually consumed, one way or another.”
“The fire sings to the marshmallow, and the song turns the marshmallow brown because that's what marshmallows do when they're happy.”
“A fire can't burn forever. Eventually, it consumes itself.”
“I'm not sure anyone's life turns out exactly the way they imagine. All we can do is to try to make the best of it. Even when it seems impossible.”
“Maybe it was wrong, or maybe impossible, but I wanted the truth to be one thing. One solid thing.”
“Still, the sun was hot. Still, one got over things. Still, life had a way of adding day to day”
