“You deserve better. I can’t promise you I’ll stay around, not because I don’t want to. It’s hard to explain. I’m a fuckup. I’m broken, and no one can fix it. I’ve tried. I’m still trying. I can’t love anyone because it’s not fair to anyone who loves me back. I’ll never hurt you, not like I want to hurt Roamer. But I can’t promise I won’t pick you apart, piece by piece, until you’re in a thousand pieces, just like me. You should know what you’re getting into before getting involved.”
― Jennifer Niven, All the Bright Places

― Renee Ahdieh, The Wrath and the Dawn

“I'm trying to say that it takes some people a very long time to realize something they thought was true isn't true anymore. And maybe never was.”

“Sometimes the good ones surprise you. Sometimes they stick around longer than you'd think --- after they should have given up.”
― Julie Kibler, Calling Me Home
