“The problem with this is that if we beat ourselves up after a mistake, we add shame onto the guilt and frustration that we already feel about our mistake. That guilt and frustration can be helpful in moving us forward, but shame...shame keeps us stuck. It's a paralyzing emotion. When we get caught in a shame spiral, we tend to make more of the same kinds of mistakes that caused us shame in the first place".”
Jennette McCurdy, I'm Glad My Mom Died

June Hur

Hannah Kaner
“What happened to us does not define us, what we do next is what matters. (p. 248)”
Hannah Kaner, Godkiller

“For all stories have an ending as well as a beginning. But a beginning is where you choose to plant your foot, and the ending is only the edge of one's own knowledge.”
Yangsze Choo, The Fox Wife

Gloria Chao
“There is magic on this sometimes wretched, unremarkable Earth. But often, you have to make your own wishes find the light.”
Gloria Chao, When You Wish Upon a Lantern
