Beautiful Ugly

by Alice Feeney

“People rarely know what they have until they lose it. They spend their lives searching for a better one, wanting more, needing more, blind to the fact that they already had it all. I think sometimes it’s only when something gets taken from a person that they appreciate what they had.

I keep my thoughts to myself because silence cannot be misquoted.

Sometimes I think we are all the unreliable narrators of our own lives.
