Jasmine

“Maybe, she thinks, this is simply what living is: an infinite list of transgressions that did not weigh against the joys but that simply overlaid them, the two lists mingling and merging, all the small moments that made up the mosaic of a person, a relationship, a life. What Bird will learn, then: That his mother is fallible. That she is only human, too.”
― Celeste Ng, Our Missing Hearts

“Sometimes you simply made the wrong choice and you had to live with it. You could only change the future.”
― Kristin Hannah, Fly Away

“Being a parent is so strange, all our children’s pain belongs to us, but so does their joy.”
― Fredrik Backman, My Friends
