“But longing is momentum in disguise: It’s active, not passive; touched with the creative, the tender, and the divine. We long for something, or someone. We reach for it, move toward it. The word longing derives from the Old English langian, meaning ‘to grow long,’ and the German langen—to reach, to extend. The word yearning is linguistically associated with hunger and thirst, but also desire. In Hebrew, it comes from the same root as the word for passion. The place you suffer, in other words, is the same place you care profoundly—care enough to act.”

— Susan Cain, from Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole (Crown, 2022)

“I thought I mastered loss, that I conquered its alphabet, that I spoke it fluently, I thought I conducted it in perfect symphonies, I thought I could control it, but in reality it mastered me, I don’t speak loss, rather it speaks me instead, I am just another alphabet it mustered, I am a part of its language now.”

“Perhaps most of all, though, you deserve to be okay. You deserve to know that a day in which you can just barely get out of bed because you are sad, or sick, or simply not ready to see the outside is not the end of the world. You deserve to know that moments of weakness do not make you fundamentally weak, only fundamentally human, and that sometimes we’re not going to be effusively happy, and that is okay.”

— Chelsea Fagan

“What about when someone doesn’t need a shoulder? What if they need the arms?”

“We’re more than our mistakes. We’re more than what people expect of us.”
