The Scars Within (Twisted Thorn, #1)

by Ang T. Dalton

“You have to wake up every morning and decide to be the person you want to be. You have to commit to doing the little things that person would do. Your negative mind will fight you, your inner demons will try to pull you back. But if you keep trying every single day, those demons will lose their power. Until they’re just… poof.”

You are the only person that’s ever made me want to start living again. I’ve been broken for so long that I don’t think my edges can be molded back together. But you, Scarlet, make me want to try. You are my light.”

Maybe it’s about finding the ones who see you for who you are, see you for the darkness you’ve survived, and still choose to keep you anyway.

“And it is not the scars on the surface that prove that,” he said softly. “It is the scars within that show the fight in you.”
