Edge of the world Quote by Eden Maguire
““I hate that moment when Aaron and I split – each time it happens, and it happens a lot. He storms off, or I walk out on him and I have a split second where I feel I’ve lost my grip, I’m falling off the edge of the world, I’m yelling, “Help!” and no one hears me. I’m alone. But later, when you get a distance and you start to think it through, it feels like it might not be so bad.””
