“Oh, though: I should know by now that you can't always trust feelings-which is especially problematic when you can't even trust the things that masquerade as facts.
Hindsight; that's the only thing worth trusting these days.
Two roads diverge in a wood, and I-I take the one less traveled by.”
― Kayla Olson, The Sandcastle Empire

“They saw me as someone who lived entirely within herself, like some creature who moved in an impenetrable bubble, emerging only when it was absolutely necessary to say anything to anyone or do anything with anyone. But family did matter to me. It always had, and always would.”
― V.C. Andrews, Bittersweet Dreams

“Holy shit, dude. I think you just saved my life!'
'I think you broke my ribs.'
'I can't believe you dove at me like fucking batman. It was kind of badass actually.'
'That's me. The high school badass.”
― Caleb Roehrig, Last Seen Leaving

“People were messy. They were defined not only by what they'd done, but by what they would have done, under different circumstances, molded as much by their regrets as their actions, choices they stood by and those they wished they could undo. Of course, there was no going back - time only moved forward - but people could change.

For worse.

And for better.

It wasn't easy. The world was complicated. Life was hard. And so often, living hurt.

So make it worth the pain.”
