“I wonder what kind of upbringing is worse for a human. The kind where you’re sheltered and loved to the point that you aren’t aware of how cruel the world can be until it’s too late to acquire the necessary coping skills, or the kind of household I grew up in. The ugliest version of a family, where coping is the only thing you learn.”
― Colleen Hoover, Heart Bones

“There are two different kinds of wrong. The wrong that stems from weakness and the wrong that stems from strength. You made that choice because you were strong and needed to survive. You didn’t make that choice because you were weak.”
― Colleen Hoover, Heart Bones

“Remember—it is okay to be emotional, to seek help, to confidently tell someone you enjoy being around that you are infatuated with them. There is nothing wrong with vulnerability, with being human, for that is what creates depth within our relationships, and that is what ultimately unifies us.”
― Bianca Sparacino, The Strength In Our Scars

“We use fate as an excuse, as an apology for all of the people we have walked away from; we speak the years from our minds, and say, “if it was meant to happen, it would have.” But we are wrong, because fate does not exist; only effort does. and that is where we fail each other. Because if it was meant to happen, we would have made it happen. If it was meant to be, we would have stayed. We would have fought.”
