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

My need to fix everything isn’t just about being responsible or looking out for my friends. It’s about trying to protect my own heart. To hold the shattered pieces of myself together by whatever means necessary. Because when there’s one massive thing in your life that you have zero control over—like when a parent abandons you—then you look for stability where you can get it.

“I don’t think it’s that you weren’t there for her. I think sometimes we just need different people at different times in our life.”

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