If I stay. If I live. It’s up to me. All this business about medically induced comas is just doctor talk. It’s not up to the doctors. It’s not up to the absentee angels. It’s not even up to God who, if He exists, is nowhere around right now. It’s up to me.

I want to ask him where that kitchen is. Where he's from. But he seems guarded. Or maybe it's me. Maybe making friends is a specific skill, and I missed the lesson.

...the world feels so big when you're out in the wide open. It's like you don't have a place in it when you don't have a home. Your place is right here, I whispered, laying down and hugging her close.

You meet people, you part ways, sometimes you cross paths again. Mostly, you don't.
Gayle Forman
Image
The line between true self and feigned self is blurred on all sides. Which I think is a rather handy metaphor for falling in love.

Image
I don't hate you. I don't think I ever really did. It was just anger. And once I faced it head-on, once understood it, it dissipated. -Mia

I don’t want to be that person, who just takes things.

Okay, maybe this was the meant to be: the universe I knew, loved nothing more than balance.

I'm also starting to wonder something else. If maybe the point of this crazy quest I'm on wasn't to help me find Willem. Maybe it was to help me find someone else entirely.

I've become to realize there's a world of difference between knowing something happened, even knowing why it happened, and believing it.
