Eventually of course, literature got displaced by reality, as it invariably does, but for a while my every day life had the clarify, intensity and certitude of fiction.

I can now see my own suffering as ordinary, just part of what it means to be a human being. I no longer think, Why me? Instead I think, Why not me? The one thing that I gained from writing this book is that it made me intolerant of unhappiness. When I am unhappy now, I often think, How much more of your life can you spend being sad? Go and find some joy.

Love is:

When the heart, clenched like a fist, in fear, unfurls to grasp another hand.

"Love between strangers takes only a few seconds and can last a whole life."

I can only hope that the other half of these words will speak true for me if I am patient, if I believe in myself, and keep believing in others. So far, only the first few words have shown themselves, but I won't stop hoping that I deserve something more lasting and precious than I have seen and known.

  The only thing I still hold on to, despite knowing better, is the goodness I saw, and the first time I felt free and at ease to be. 

I don't want to take that away from you, but I also don't want to hurt anymore. 

I have been shown how incredible it is to have people care about you, especially when you least expect it. I have been shown how blessed, how lucky I am to know the people that I know, and to have those in my life that make it even more worth living. 

I can only look forward now, and hope that the future will do us both good.

You were unsure which pain is worse -- the shock of what happened or the ache for what never will.
