Thanks for Listening by Julia Whelan

Loved these quotes! 

"Ultimately, I don't think it matters what I say, does it? Will you ever truly believe, deep down, that anything other than pity brought me over to you? Nothing I can say can make that scar disappear for you. I can tell you I don't see it and you will always see it. I can tell you you're everything that keeps me up at night and everything I daydream about and how that makes you feel might last a day or a week or an hour. Feelings are temporary. They stick around as long as you believe in them and then they're gone, waiting to be believed in again. If they were permanent, then we'd only have to say I love you once and be done with it for the rest of our lives." p316

"What, you think you can get through life avoiding regret? Avoiding failure?" He laughed. "Spoiler alert: life is regret, life is failure. But like that ghost, you learn to live with it. Because failure makes success matter." p346

"Is it always like this in there? Does your neck get sore from holding that big brain up all day long?" p. 363
