“I don’t know who I am without my mom. And I hate it when people tell me to let her go. I’m not ready. I don’t think I ever will be. And I don’t know where that leaves me.”
“This is all you’re going to get, you know? This one life. What are you so scared of?”
“Do you ever wonder if the person on the other side of the mirror is looking back at you?”
“The past are stories we tell ourselves to get through the night.”
“Your mother is dead, Alicia. She’s not coming back. Those are just her ashes. Let her go.”
“Well, in all the laws of physics we have yet to find a distinction between past and future. And even though in our very, very small existence we might not realize it, time is simply a direction in space.”
“Your best dreams and your worst nightmares have the same people in them.”
“Jealousy is just the fear of being compared.”
