“Sometimes I feel like relationships consist of telling your same life stories to different people until someone finally appreciates them.”

“Our relationship feels different. Like someone has taken my favorite sweater and thrown it in the dryer and it doesn't fit right anymore. I want to pull and tug on it until it feels comfortable again.”

“You never really know someone until your relationship with them is over.”

“Sometimes there is a single moment that changes your life forever. After that moment nothing feels the same anymore. You try to get back into your normal routine, but something is different, something's changed. Finally, you realize that everything is just the same as it always was. The only thing different is you. Hadie, you are that moment, and you have changed me. Forever.”

“When I write I pretend I'm telling a story to someone in the room and I don't want them to get up until I'm finished.”

“Don’t you ever feel like you’re just a story someone is telling about someone like you?”
