Zoey: I have been trying to be so hard to be happy lately, but the universe keeps throwing obstacles in my way.
Simon: Life will do that to you. It’s not like you only have to feel one thing at a time; you can feel all of the emotions at the same time, like happiness, anger, grief. Look, you got this massive hole in your heart that you just can’t fill – and I understand that – but the good news is that eventually the hole will scar over. You can wear that scar like a badge of honor. And it won’t define you. It’ll deepen you, and you’ll learn how to draw strength from it. ‘Cause 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’d be surprised when the old ones just start springing back up.
