“Ugly love becomes you. Consumes you. Makes you hate it all. Makes you realize that all the beautiful parts aren’t even worth it. Without the beautiful, you’ll never risk feeling this. You’ll never risk feeling the ugly. So you give it up. You give it all up. You never want love again, no matter what kind it is, because no type of love will ever be worth living through the ugly love again.”
― Colleen Hoover, Ugly Love

“That’s the thing with trauma to the body—it shows up instantly. In breaks and bruises, in burns and in blood. But the trauma on the inside, that’s harder to see. It creeps around your mind, poisons you with disquiet. It can hit you out of nowhere, debilitating and ruinous.”
― Raven Kennedy, Glow

“~Love is a powerful force. It cannot be bought. It cannot be taken or stolen. Although sometimes it must be fought for, it must be given freely.~”
― J.M. Kearl, Bow Before the Elf Queen

“Who told you that those who are depressed are not deserving of love?” Me. My mind. My thoughts. He tapped the side of his head. “Every thought that comes in here, young man, is not an honest one. Learn to filter out the bullshit, even if it’s loud.”
― Brittainy C. Cherry, The Coldest Winter
