“...maybe, at the end of the day, it’s not ... only about forgiveness. It’s about something deeper than that. Deeper than any limited understanding of being angry or hurt or deceived. Deeper than any understanding we may have of what we’ve gotten right and wrong. It’s about our effort. The effort is the thing, isn’t it? What effort will you make to be forgiven? What effort will you keep making, regardless of the cost, to show up for the people who need you?” ~ Laura Dave, The First Time I Saw Him

Exhilaration, anxiety, rapture, depression, tenderness, anger, hope, despair. ~ Samantha Harvey, Orbital
