“When we feel that we’re choosing our problems, we feel empowered. When we feel that our problems are being forced upon us against our will, we feel victimized and miserable.”

“And let’s be honest here.

All that we know for certain is what hurts in the moment and what doesn’t. And that’s not worth much.”
― Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

And no matter who we are, we have to take the hand we’re dealt, crappy though it may be, and try our very best to move forward anyway, to love anyway, to have hope anyway…to have faith that there’s a purpose to the journey we’re on. I grabbed his hands in mine for a second and then let go so I could continue. And try to believe that maybe more light shines out of those who have the most cracks.”
― Mia Sheridan, Archer's Voice

“Because you’re mine,” I said against her mouth. “Let another man touch you, Jules, and you’ll find out just how easily I can take a man’s life as I can save one.”
― Ana Huang, Twisted Hate
