Mistakes We Never Made (Mistakes We Never Made, #1)

by Hannah Brown

Grief may be a heavier burden to carry, but I don’t think it poisons you quite the same way that bitterness does.

It’s not what I wanted. I wanted him to chase after me. To tell me that he was just as into me as I was into him.

And when someone shows you who they are, you’re supposed to believe them. So I did.

You can’t claim to care about someone, and then abandon them. It’s cruel.”

Some mistakes do define you. Some mistakes leave you irrevocably changed.

No matter the missing details, it ultimately comes down to this: he just didn’t care about me the same way I cared about him. And part of me still wants him to care about me that way, even now.

All we can do is step bravely into our lives, and trust that we’ll be okay—even if we make mistakes.
