“One of the strangest things about life is that it will chug on, blind
and oblivious, even as your private world - your little carved-out
sphere - is twisting and morphing, even breaking apart. One day you have
parents; the next day you're an orphan. One day you have a place and a
path. The next day you're lost in the wilderness.
And still the sun
rises and clouds mass and drift and people shop for groceries and
toilets flush and blinds go up and down. That's when you realize that
most of it - life, the relentless mechanism of existing - isn't about
you. It doesn't include you at all. It will thrust onward even after
you've jumped the edge. Even after you're dead.”
-Lauren Oliver
