“I hate the whole " what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" saying. It's bullshit. Sometimes what kills you is worse. Sometimes what kills you is preferable. Sometimes what doesn't kill you messes you up so bad it's always a fight to make it through what you left with.
What didn't kill me didn't make me stronger; what didn't made me a victim.
But I made me stronger. I made me into a survivor.”

“I’d tear the whole world apart for you"

"And I'd burn it down for you”

“i want to shoot him. i should shoot him. Ashley would. Rebecca wouldn't know how. Samantha would maybe consider it. Haley would for sure. Katie showed me first what i was capable of.
