You didn’t survive a life of abuse without fostering an ember of strength, tenacity and a little bit of stubbornness, too, to carry on every day.
“A damaged woman is like a hurricane. A force of nature. You will have to show her that you can ride the waves. That you can survive and grow with her in the fury of her winds. However, during all of that, you will also have to remain calm, gentle, and comforting. Sometimes, her tears may fall like the softest rain. When that happens, just love her. Other times, she will be thunder and lightning. She will wreak havoc, and the viciousness of her winds will be nothing compared to the rage within herself; your job is to just simply love her harder. And that, my son, is the only way to love and build a future with a woman who has been hurt.”

I wanted you to look at me the way you look at your fantasy book—with a mixture of awe, anticipation, and warmth. I gave you a brownie, hoping you’d remember me sweetly, praying the sugar rush would spin a positive feel around that vacation. I remember how you looked at me when you saw me killing jellyfish. I never wanted you to look at me like that ever again.”

“To douchebags!" he said, gesturing to Brad. "And to girls that break your heart," he bowed his head to me. His eyes lost focus. "And to the absolute fucking horror of losing your best friend because you were stupid enough to fall in love with her.”
