About This Quote

Ellie was afraid that if she lost everyone in her life, her life would be over. She was so afraid of losing everything that she let it happen. This is a common problem in today’s society. People are too afraid to speak up and tell others what they want.

They are so worried about being hurt by others that they allow their friends to leave without saying anything. Ellie did not know that there was another way out of the situation she was in. Coop shows that there are ways to let people stay with you even when they are leaving, there are ways to keep them around even when they are leaving, and there are ways to get them to stay even if they are leaving.

It is important to know what you want and how to achieve it in order for your goals to be achieved in your life.
