Maybe love was superstition, a prayer we said to keep the truth of loneliness at bay. I tilted my head back.

In the end, maybe love just meant longing for something impossibly bright and forever out of reach. ~Leigh Bardugo

What bothers most critics of my work is the goofiness. One reviewer said I need to make up my mind if want to be funny or serious.

I while I write, you while you read, and others while they listen or stop their ears, they are all dying. ~Petrarch
