"People come in and out of your life in a way that feels wrong. The out-of-your life part. Like it cancels out the way they came in if it didn't come to anything. But maybe that's some capitalistic investment-earnings-type bullshit and no one is necessarily meant to stay with you if even just one of you doesn't want it to happen"
"It is a sad thing to let go of. That everything leaves. But life has too many seasons to get caught up about one of them. And other seasons return. So even though it felt for a time like me and Orvil had been brought together by fate, maybe it was included in fate that the us of us was just supposed to be for the time we knew each other. I'm being asked to understand that with some people you love, they just won't end up being a part of your life. I'm being asked a question that seems I can answer only by living"
