“children know hardly anything about their parents, even if they live with them their whole lives. Because all we know about them is as moms and dads, nothing about who they were before that. We never saw them young, when they still fantasized about all the things that could happen, instead of regretting all the things that never did.”
― Fredrik Backman, My Friends

“You can’t love someone out of addiction. All the oceans are the tears of those who have tried”
