Kindle Notes & Highlights
For those who have shoved down their light so others could shine, it’s time to fight for you.
But it would be nice, just once, to know what it was like to be so important to someone that they chose her above all else.
In the end, though, she supposed dreams were like hope. Completely pointless.
“I’m saying you need to decide you’re worth it. Even on the hard days. Even on the days you feel like giving up. Even on the days where it feels pointless. You need to decide you are worth it.”
“Maybe those attempts are futile in the end,” he replied. “Or maybe those attempts are the very thing that make you different from what you believe yourself to be.”
No one had taught her how to fight back. She’d only been taught to submit. To be less than she was. To shove all that she was down—all of her light into the dark—so that someone else could shine. She’d only been told she wasn’t enough. Too wild. Too impulsive. Too much of a hassle. Uncontrollable.
Ah, but facing truths? That is where the difficulty lies.
“You will forever be someone else’s.” “If I am forever someone else’s, what does that make you, little storm?” “The same thing I’ve always been. Nothing.”
“That facing truths is difficult, but deciding what to do with those truths is the greatest burden of all.”
“And you promised it would always be like this. That it would always be a battle with you.” “The thing about battles, Theon, is that eventually someone has to lose,”
“Villains and monsters don’t get happy endings.”
“A constant battle between us, but I warned you, eventually someone has to lose. At the end, the question will finally be answered.” “What question?” “Who will be left standing when Chaos comes to reign?”
