“You can’t control the world—or other people. You can’t make them love you, either. They will or they won’t, and that’s the truth. But what you can do is decide who you want to be in the face of it all. Do you want to be a person who helps—or hurts? Do you want to be a person who burns with anger—or shines with compassion? Do you want to be hopeful or hopeless? Give up or keep going? Live or die?”

― Kate Alice Marshall, What Lies in the Woods

“It’s never easy to realize that the people who are supposed to protect us are the ones who can create the deepest scars.”
