“I believe that you always have choices. Every day, you wake up, open your eyes, and start making choices. That part isn’t up to you.”
“Then what is?”

“I thought about my future. Who I used to be, who I was becoming, and who I wanted to be. And it was strange how revelations felt like they happened all of a sudden, but in reality, it took many small, almost indiscernible moments over the course of weeks, months, and years. Bottom line, I knew I didn’t want to be someone who hid anymore, whether behind a veil, to others, or to myself.”
― Penellaphe Balfour

“A stranger could wound you if he slashed at you for a while—that wasn’t a special talent. But just a papercut from the one you loved had the power to eviscerate you. And leave you bleeding on the ground.”
― S.E. Harmon, Cross
