Adam is crying and somewhere inside of me I am crying, too, because I'm feeling things at last. I'm feeling not just the physical pain, but all that I have lost, and it is profound and catastrophic and will leave a crater in me that nothing will ever fill.

Gayle Forman
About This Quote

The pain of growing up is sometimes intense. When we're hurt, we feel the pain of our emotions, of our relationships and of our pasts. This quote is a good reminder to not let the past ruin our future. As a person grows up and understands life, they realize that the past is what they have now, and what they have now is a blessing. So rather than being filled with regret for their past, they can look forward to a future filled with happiness.
