“Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet.

― Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

“I have been waiting for death all my life. I do not mean that I actively wish to die, just that I do not really want to be alive.”

No Funerals.”
