Two by Two

by Nicholas Sparks

The strength to be who you are without fear of rejection from others was something I respected, if only because it was something I aspired to myself.

Guilt, in other words, isn’t always wasted. It can keep us from making the same mistake twice.

“You’re sad now, but you’re not a sad person, and you won’t always be sad. You’re angry now, but you’re not an angry person, and you won’t always be angry.”

Just remember that I’ve made it through one hundred percent of the worst days of my life so far.

The cancer, after all, spread not only through human bodies. Sometimes it spread through families, like mine.

At any given time, I am not the whole me; I am but a partial version of myself and each version is slightly different from the others.
