Is this a good quote?
“But I wasn’t just sad all the time. I went through respite periods sometimes; I didn’t feel bad about waking up in the morning anymore. I didn’t stare down at my feet when I walked three blocks every day in the city to work. I didn’t feel uncomfortable being on my own with the ghost of her following me around everywhere. She was no longer the paramount priority of my life. But of course I always got sucked back into it; When I saw a girl on the train with long, wavy hair like Gabby’s, or when I found myself walking down a familiar dark street where I had once walked with her, and the only unfamiliar thing about it was the absence of the sunlight and warmth that had been there when Gabby was with me. I suppose that’s how I started seeing things then. Everything that used to be beautiful was negated by the absence of Gabrielle. And there was nothing that could be changed about it.”
