She found herself fantasizing about a life not without fear but without ambition. She would read, go to class, and live in an apartment with good light. She would feel curious instead of panicked when people mentioned artists she didn't know, authors she hadn't read. She would have a stack of books on her bedside table. She would listen to Morning Becomes Eclectic. She would get the jokes, speak the language: she would become fluent in leisure.

“You know how every once in a while you do something and the little voice inside says ‘There. That’s it. That’s why you’re here’ … and you get a warm glow in your heart because you know it’s true? Do more of that.”

— Jacob Nordby

Δεν θα κρατήσεις την υπόσχεσή σου. Καταλαβαίνω. Και κρατώ τα χέρια μου πάνω από τα αφτιά της καρδιάς μου, ώστε να μην σε μισήσει.
