Never Standing Still Quotes

“Her words did nothing short of cut me open.  I didn’t know what it felt like to have someone love me that way.  Love, in my experience, was a hardship, a responsibility, something we carried around on our backs.  But Ella spoke of love like it lifted her up and I couldn’t understand.  How could our views of love be so different?  Why couldn’t I let love heal me instead of hurt me?”
― Anie Michaels, Never Standing Still
