Quotes by Leah Mercer (?)

“I think how marriage doesn’t have the power to bind – only the actions of two people can do that. ‘Forever’ and happy endings aren’t a given, and life can be shit, just like the woman on the train said. But perhaps you do need to have faith, too. Faith in yourself, and faith in your relationship.”
― Leah Mercer, Who We Were Before

“I spend a lot of time inside my head. I like it there, blanketed from the world.”
― Leah Mercer, Who We Were Before

“Life was precious; life was fleeting. It could change in an instant, leading you down a different path than you ever expected. You could choose light - Hope - or you could choose darkness, dwelling alone in grief, uncertainty or pain”
― Leah Mercer, A Mother's Lie
