“I’ve made myself vulnerable
I’ve let myself care.
I’ve opened my firmly closed heart.
My safety is gone
It’s no longer there
My protection is falling apart.

Nobody promised
Our hearts would be safe
Or our bodies protected from harm.
A moment can change
All we think that we have,
Hope will endure through the storm.

― Ellen Hopkins, Impulse

“Pray you could somehow stop the uncertainty, somehow stop the loathing, somehow stop the pain...”
― Ellen Hopkins, Impulse

“Forever has no meaning when you're living in the moment. I wasn't ready for that moment to end.”
