“A lot of our disappointments occur not from people failing us but from putting high expectations in said persons..its best to take people at face value.”
Meks

Helen  Hoang
“I don't life that Priscilla blaming herself when she did all that she could, all that anyone could, really. But I guess that's how it must be when someone's standards are so impossibly high and their capacity for empathy so limited. They are cruel to others, and cruelest to themselves.”
Helen Hoang, The Heart Principle
