You know it’s deep when someone’s absence has an effect on your entire being.
Brandon Nembhard
Someone picked up the sun and pinned it to the sky again, but every day it hangs a little lower than the day before. It's like a negligent parent who only knows one half of who you are. It never sees how its absence changes people. How different we are in the dark.
Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me
Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything.
C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed
Sometimes you can only feel something by its absence. By the empty spaces it leaves behind.
Gayle Forman, Just One Day
Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them.
Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free
