Quote of the Day
“I’ve come to the conclusion that
there are no set rules in life. You do what you have to do to survive. If that
means running away from the love of your life to preserve your sanity, you do
it. If it means breaking someone’s heart so yours doesn’t break; do it. Life is
complicated — too much so for there to be absolutes. We are all so broken. Pick
up a person, shake them around and you’ll hear the rattling of their broken
pieces. Pieces our fathers broke, or our mothers, or our friends, strangers, or
our loves. Olivia has stopped rattling quite as much as she used to. Love is a
God-given tool, she tells me. It screws things back in place that were loose,
and it cleans out all the broken pieces that you don’t need any more. I believe
her. Our love has been fixing each other. I hope to only hear a tiny jingle
when I shake her in a few years”
