I am learning:

that I am desperatley wide-eyed and terribly conscious, that one shouldn’t hold onto the past, that there are few people in this world that will love you for you, that when you find these people — hold onto them, that family should always come first, that the perfect place to watch the sun set in old saybrook is on the knollwood beach, that tea from paperback is always worth it, that I need more than I want, that some want more than they need, that one should appreciate every morning they wake up to.
