“The ironic thing about his admission was that all this time I’d been saying we had nothing in common and what we did have was the one thing I wouldn’t wish on anybody. But it was the key to making me open up more, which I seldom did, and that was a mistake I worked on trying to correct. We carried our stories so tight that we become suffocated with them, and more often than not, the person right beside us is suffering in the same silence we are.”

“Sometimes family isn’t made up of who you’re born to or who you share a name with. Sometimes it’s made up of a strange man you accidentally dial up and cuss out, or waitresses at a seaside restaurant, or seven-year-old twins who tell you you’re awesome and super pretty. Family are the people who support you and love you no matter what. Who care about your happiness and who don’t pass judgment. Who heal you. Who accept you and the life you’re living. That’s what family is, Mom.”
― J. Daniels, Four Letter Word

“If you think you’ve found something good without anything bad in it, it just means you haven’t examined it close enough.”
