imperfect mother, it’s better to grow up knowing your imperfect mother is
fighting for you than to grow up knowing she doesn’t give a shit about you.”
― Colleen Hoover, Reminders of Him

― Jennifer L. Armentrout, The ​Crown of Gilded Bones

“Maybe the best way to cope with the loss of the people we love is to find them in as many places and things as we possibly can.”
