Kristena’s Quotes

“When our loved ones die, the love stays alive in the present.”
― Angeline Boulley, Firekeeper's Daughter

“The downside is the fear of something happening to her. The pressure of there being two bodies in the world that I want to keep from harm and only being able to watchfully inhabit one of them. I wonder if you know what I mean. I hope that you do, for your sake. It’s a worry I’ll have to learn to live with because I’m definitely out of wishes.”
― David Mitchell, Back Story

“Because for every way the world tries to kill us, it gives us a way to survive. You just gotta find it.”

“You are not a creature of grief. You are not a congregation of wounds. You are not the sum of your losses. Your skin is not your scars. Your life is yours, and it can be new and wondrous. Remember that.”
― Jeff Zentner, In the Wild Light

“People say to think seven generations ahead when making big decisions, because our future ancestors—those yet to arrive, who will one day become the Elders—live with the choices we make today.”
