“I’ll fuse your broken pieces with mine. Together, we’ll be whole, Callie.”
― Morgan Bridges, Once You're Mine

“When you make someone fall in love with the darkest parts of you, there’s nothing you can do that will scare them away. They will be yours forever because they already love all the fucked up bits and pieces of you.”
― H.D. Carlton, Haunting Adeline

“There’s no shame in the struggle, but you can’t stay there forever.”
― Jennifer Hartmann, Still Beating

“But what else do I love? Do I love nature? This waterfall is beautiful, and I hadn’t thought to explore other wonders of this earth. Do I love long walks on the beach at sunset, or do I prefer to watch the sunrise? Am I afraid of the ocean? Or do I dare swim out into its depths and let it welcome me in? I love the written word, but what other forms of artistry do I enjoy? Am I an artist? Can I paint? Draw? Play an instrument? I can sing, sure, but what if I want to sing to thousands and not just a family of two? There are so many questions I have about myself—questions I didn’t realize I desperately need to know the answer to. I had never thought to ask them before because so much of my life revolved around being a mother and a wife.”
― H.D. Carlton, Phantom
