“what if you weren’t feeling anything at all? What if you really felt empty? Was emptiness a temporary emotion, or was it an unfortunate state of self?”
― M.E. Clayton, The Pieces Series #1-3

“Am I enough to show my son how to be a man? A better man than the one I chose for him? Does he know that there is nothing more “manly” than showing his emotions or admitting when he’s made a mistake and then trying to do better? Does he know the influence he has to empower the future girls and women in his life? Have I empowered him? Will he know what it means to be a partner when I feel like I’m just learning that lesson now? Does he know that sometimes the strongest thing he can do is be gentle? Or that saying no to his own desires in place of another person’s shows strength beyond compare? Will he be brave enough in the tough moments to do the right thing?”
― Jennifer Peel, The Sidelined Wife

“One time, scrolling through Pinterest, I saw something that read ‘Don’t make permanent decisions while you’re experiencing temporary emotions’ and I always thought that had sounded so wise.”

“I didn't do second chances. I'd been burned too many times by too many people to let that be a thing anymore.”
