“Stop it with this desire to be ‘normal’. What the hell is ‘normal’ anyway?” he continued, using air quotes to excess. “’Normal’ people as you put it couldn’t even begin to imagine the things you’ve been through, let alone survive them.

― Nicola Haken, Saving Amy

“Everything you consider to be wrong with you are just the results of you trying to be strong for too long --- trying to cope alone for too long. Don't you think it's amazing that after everything you've been through --- the violence, the fear, the isolation... you can still do this? That you can still feel? Still trust? Because I sure as hell think it's a miracle. I think you're a miracle.”
