Pretty Things on Shelves Quotes

“Marriage isn’t about sealing the deal with the person you fall in love with. It’s knowing that you’ll love every version of them that they become.”
― Maggie C. Gates, Pretty Things on Shelves

“So much of how we innately react, our defense mechanisms, and our communication comes from what was shown to us in the early years of our lives. When all you’re ever taught is that your needs matter less than an idea, you grow up believing you don’t deserve to take up space. You make yourself small so you don’t inconvenience others.”
― Maggie C. Gates, Pretty Things on Shelves
