Grimstone (Grimstone, #1)

by Sophie Lark

I understand because I’m sad, too, but I hide it for Jude’s sake. Pretending to be yellow sunshine when my heart is heavy with dark blue

Why do we admit the truth even though it fucking hurts? Because that’s the way it won’t kill us anymore. It is painful to admit hard truths. But it’s incredibly healing to be forgiven and loved in spite of them.
