“I hoped that grief was similar to the other emotions. That it would end, the way happiness did. Or laughter.”
“What? Did we end up hating each other? Did we end up the way we thought we always knew would? Did I end up wearing khakis because of that fucking ad?”
“Laughter is a powerful way to tap positive emotions”
“I was trying not to be happy, hopeful. I did not believe I deserved happiness or even hope, if you knew my soul.”
“The thought filled me with grief, grief for the dreams we'd shared, for the love I'd felt, for the hopeful girl I would never be again.”
“I am hopeful, though not full of hope, and the only reason I don't believe in happy endings is because I don't believe in endings.”
