Quotes by Gwen Cole (?)

“Sometimes when you go through things, you bottle them up inside and try to act like everything is fine. Because you want to forget they ever happened. But you have to trust me when I say that doesn't work. In order for you to move on, you have to let them out.”
― Gwen Cole, Cold Summer

“Some people fight through it, and some people choose not to by ignoring it. It's up to them to get through it, and we can only support and love them.”
― Gwen Cole, Cold Summer
