Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I don’t want to cause him pain,” she said softly. “You’re not. You’re teaching him that not all hands hurt.”
“Didn’t think pain could be beautiful.” “It is when it makes you feel not so alone.”
“I like having you here. I think I needed it just as much as you did.” The truth of those words hit somewhere deep in my chest, burning. But it was a beautiful kind of pain. One I welcomed. One that belonged only to Shiloh.
“Sometimes, I feel like I’m the kind of broken that won’t ever get put back together right.” Each of Shiloh’s words hit me like a physical blow. Because I knew that feeling. “Like your insides got rearranged in a way that would never have you on the right side of normal ever again.”
“I think that’s the best thing we can do with our pain, mold it into something that can help others in some way.
Just because we love someone doesn’t mean we never hurt them. It’s pretty much a guarantee. Life happens. What matters is how you deal with it.
“I’d rather have these little pieces of him than an entirety of anyone else.”
“I don’t think there’s a word for it in the English language. But it burns through me. And I don’t want to ever let it go.”
“I could never regret you. Even when it hurts, I want to feel that pain because you make me remember that I’m alive.”
