finally reading one of the books my aunt gave me
"Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering."
"She chose my father, and to hold on to a certain feeling, she sacrificed the world."
"OHE THING I AM NEVER GOING TO DO WHEN I GROW UP
Is fall in love, drop out of college, learn to subsist on water and air, have a species named after me, and ruin my life."
"These things were lost to oblivion like so much about so many who are born and die without anyone taking the time to write it all down."
"I like to think the world wasn't ready for me, but maybe the truth is that I wasn't ready for the world. I've always arrived too late for my life."
"The moment has passed, the door between the lives we could have led and the lives we led had shut in our faces."
