Quotes by Sarah Mlynowski (?)

“I love you: You imagine hearing the words from someone not related to you, someone not your best friend, but when someone you love, someone you dream about, actually says them, it makes your body melt and your breath get caught in your chest.”
― Sarah Mlynowski, Ten Things We Did

“Sometimes you don't need lightning to start a fire. Sometimes, it builds on its own.”

“No one was perfect. But we all did the best we could. I guessed you had to forgive when you could, move on when you couldn't, and love your family and friends for who they were instead of punishing them for who they weren't.”
