"all I know is that I found out heaven was real first. I'd hang back in the waiting room and save you a seat"

"I showed you that I didn't need a romantic partner in life because I knew it was the safest bet, relying on myself and no one else. But even I had to ask for help from people sometimes... And no I didn't lack for a full life without romance but I had my heart broken one too many times and had all my decisions based on fear of it again"

But because we didn't know the people we are about to change into, maybe we wouldn't be friends anymore or not close ones. What if everyone returned being all had such a great time and behaving subtly differently to make a clear priorities and intimacies had shifted acting like things were the same. But there was a new distance around each of us like castles with moats name dropping strangers with whom we'd forwarded mysterious exciting and inpenetrable new alliances. Nothing held the same power and mystique that the unknown did"
