- “if i let myself go, i'm the only one to blame” 
- we must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

- “i used to feel so alone in the city. all those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. because, how do you meet a new person? i was very stumped by this for many years. and then i realized, you just say ‘hi.’ they may ignore you. or you may marry them. and that possibility is worth that one word.” 
- right now, i’m content not needing him and not yet knowing if i will ever need him again. 
- non sum qualis eram 
- holding a grudge is letting someone live rent-free in your head. 
- “never have any expectations, especially high ones. don't play out and rehearse the 'perfect scenario' in your head because when the time comes, it will be a bust.”
