“Since I’ve been home I’ve been trying hard to mend my relationship with my mother. Asking her to do things for me instead of brushing aside any offer of help, as I did for years out of anger. Letting her handle all the money I won. Returning her hugs instead of tolerating them. My time in the arena made me realize how I needed to stop punishing her for something she couldn’t help, specifically the crushing depression she fell into after my father’s death. Because sometimes things happen to people and they’re not equipped to deal with them.”
― Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire

“I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay”

“Buried beneath disappointment and fear, anger and pride, I just might find it in my heart to forgive.”
