“love doesn’t exist without sacrifice. Sometimes those sacrifices are waking up ten minutes early to make your partner coffee. Sometimes it’s taking on a second job to support your family. Sometimes it’s staying up all night with a newborn so your significant other can finally sleep. Sometimes it’s shoveling the other person’s car out of the driveway after a snowstorm.” She places her palm against my wet cheek and smiles softly. “And sometimes it’s making the ultimate sacrifice and walking away for the greater good.”
― Jennifer Hartmann, Still Beating

“She doesn’t need to pretend with me, though. She doesn’t need to hide. I’m here, and I see her—every scar, every flaw, every broken, hollow piece. And I understand.”
― Jennifer Hartmann, Still Beating

“And maybe love is walking away because it’s the only way she’ll find the light again.”
― Jennifer Hartmann, Still Beating

“She’s not just my rock, she’s my whole fucking world. I knew that from day one. My life began with her, and it’ll end with her.”
― Amo Jones, Sicko
