Ways to Grow Love Quotes

“Most people think those thorns are ugly, they think thorns represent flaws. But those thorns are there for a reason. To protect all that beauty,” Grandma says. “Ryan, you have a lot of beauty to protect. You don’t need to shrink to make anyone else feel important.

It’s okay to tell Red to respect you.”
