“Misery is like an animal, it needs food to survive—so starve it. Surround yourself with art and beauty that brightens your darkest days. Listen to music and poetry that always fill the cracks of your broken heart. Read quotes and passages that can soothe and motivate you when you feel the most discouraged. Spend time with people who make you laugh and distract you from your troubles. Nourish your soul and hopefully the mind will follow. However, if you find you can't help yourself, there's no shame in asking others for help. Sometimes asking for help is just as heroic as giving it. There are treatments and therapies and counselors that you could benefit from—but no one finds answers if they're too afraid to ask the questions. Don't let your pride tell you otherwise.”

"No," Brystal said. "I've never seen them before in my life."
"Then why are you so shaken?"
"Because not knowing them makes it worse," she said. "I've never said or done anything to these men, and yet they've devoted their whole lives to harming people like me. They have no reason to hate us, but they choose to hate us anyway. Of all the things in life to feel, why would anyone choose hatred?"
"I have no idea." Seven said. "But most people choose love. And that's why we're here—to make sure hate doesn't win.”
