Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You have a choice in who you become in the world. You can choose to take away light from people, or you can choose to bring light into their lives. The light can be scary when someone has been in darkness for so long. Always remember that some people look like light, but they are fighting darkness. Those are the ones that need your light the most.”
You can’t fly unless you let yourself fall,
“It’s not the letting go part that is hurting you. It’s the betrayal from the person you trusted most. It’s knowing that you allowed yourself to bleed to protect them from the knives others tried to stick in their back. All the while, they sharpened their knife and stuck it into your back, straight to your heart.”
“Life doesn’t always give us what we want, but it will give us the tools to get to where we need to be.
“Just because you trust him with your heart, it doesn’t mean he has the right to break it.”
“I told you I didn’t have a heart, and maybe that is true. Maybe when you and I were created, my heart was designed for you. I’m starting to believe that life broke my heart, so the pieces could fit perfectly in yours to make it whole again. It’s yours, Avalanna. Keep it or break it; it was only ever yours to begin with. Just promise to take care of it. Protect it. Live with it. But most importantly, don’t be afraid to love with it because, as you once said, what is life without love?”
“People talk of forgiveness like we are all capable of it. Forgiveness is hard but holding on to that pain is even harder. You might never get an apology. You will just have to find a way to let go of the pain they caused you. Sometimes that is realising you are better without them.”
“Life doesn’t always have a perfect end to things. Sometimes we have to keep turning the page.”
