❝I don't want it to get easier!❞ - a free audio edit

"I believe now that we are greater than the sum of our parts. If you take Alaska’s genetic code and you add her life experiences and the relationships she had with people, and then you take the size and shape of her body, you do not get her. There is something else entirely. There is a part of her greater than the sum of her knowable parts. And that part has to go somewhere,
because it cannot be destroyed.

Although no one will ever accuse me of being much of a science
student, one thing I learned from science classes is that energy is
never created and never destroyed. And if Alaska took her own life,
that is the hope I wish I could have given her. Forgetting her mother, failing her mother and her friends and herself—those are awful things, but she did not need to fold into herself and self-destruct. Those awful things are survivable because we are as indestructible as we believe ourselves to be.

When adults say, “Teenagers think they are invincible” with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don’t know how right they are. We need never be
hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail. So I know she forgives me, just as I forgive her. Thomas Edison’s last words were: “It’s very beautiful over there.” I don’t know where there is, but I believe it’s somewhere, and I hope it’s beautiful."

I was feeling angsty I hope you can forgive me. This isn't what I usually post, but I think about this quote a lot. It carries an emotion I didn't know how to express until I read this book.

There's a part of human existence that is unseen by the human eye. It's unquantifiable. And it's the most important part.
