Zoey. I have been doing this a little longer than you, okay? So here's what I know. We can't just rely on our gifts, okay? Sometimes the thing you need to see is gonna be right in front of you, and all you have to do is open your eyes.Your Dad loved parties. So I tried to step outside my comfort zone for him, and the truth is, that some of those parties turned out to be my favorite memories. So, are we gonna stay up here and wallow, or are we going to do this party Mitch style?Hey, Zoey, honestly, you can come to us anytime about anything. No matter how busy or wildly successful we get, we are here for you.Zoey, I love you, but you rely far too much on me to do your emotional heavy lifting, and it's exhausting. I mean, it's hard enough for me to walk around this world as I am, and, no, I'm not about to tell you how to talk to your Black friend at work. So go figure that out on your own.This isn't the life I imagined. You just get so far down the rabbit hole, you just... you forget why you even wanted to do it in the first place. Or if there's a point to any of it. There isn't.Because scars are tough. They remind us of all the battles we fought. And how we survived to tell the story. Just trust and allow all the emotions to be there. You'll be surprised at some of the old ones that start just springing back up.Hey. Here's the thing. Your dad just died. And looking for any other reason why these dreams are happening... or thinking that you can just make them stop is crazy.
Mo, that's not going to happen. I mean, every relationship is always a risk, and whatever problem we have,
we can work out... Contract or not. And if you do decide to screw me over, I will sic that redheaded neighbor on you, and you do not want her fury.I know there's no road map for moving on, but what I do know is that you have to move on. It was a glorious gift being able to spend the time I had on this planet with my family, which is why I don't want you or the kids to squander the time after I'm gone being depressed about it. Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours.I think you're the kindest, sweetest, prettiest person I've ever met in my life. I've never seen anyone that's nicer to people than you are. The first time I saw you... something happened to me. The truth is I now don't travel back at all, not even for the day. I just try to live every day as if I've deliberately come back to this one day, to enjoy it, as if it was the full final day of my extraordinary, ordinary life.
