“There’s always going to be danger out there. But I don’t want it to make us stop living. If we do…then what are we fighting for?”

“The pain has always been an outlet. The beauty left behind is proof that I made it through.” “You hurt yourself to deal with whatever’s going on in your head.” “That makes it sound twisted.” “Isn’t it just a little twisted?” she asked quietly. “Maybe. But so am I.”

But wasn’t that the burden of love? You got all the wonderful things: connection, passion, understanding. But it also meant that you hurt when the person you loved did.
