To the characters who came before. To the stories that led us here. To the chances we take. To the dreams we chase. Trust your wings.

If I truly wanted to be in control of my destiny, then I couldn’t wait for someone else to save me from danger. The only person who was always going to fight for me was me.

I’d always been on my own. The only person I could count on to take my side, to see me, was me.

“Only fools and liars burn books

Humans weren’t meant to live without the sun and moons and clean air to breathe.

This was what I’d spent months and months training for. Not for someone else to come to my rescue. To rescue myself.
