“There is no shame in weakness, in wanting more, in failure or defeat. Without those moments of weakness we would never truly appreciate the beauty of our strength.

Imprints against the grains of sand that prove the waves had once been there, long after the tide recedes.”
― Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us
