Bleeding Red Quotes

“Something or someone in her past has done a number on her. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil with the need for vengeance on her behalf.”
― D.E. Chapman, Bleeding Red

“I have to remind myself that it’s for the best that I’m alone, even though it kills me inside. To care about someone leaves me open and vulnerable, and I can’t do that again. They’d become a target for my demons, and I’m not selfish enough to put someone through that. So I put on my bitch face and harden my heart so it doesn’t hurt as much. I tell myself it works and that I prefer to be on my own so it doesn’t matter. I tell myself I don’t need anyone in my life.”
― D.E. Chapman, Bleeding Red

“The rest of the world has something to prove, not me. I am what I am, no apologies necessary.”
― D.E. Chapman, Bleeding Red

“It’s hard when the people who should love you the most, the people who should put you above themselves, don’t. You’re left with this emptiness inside you that threatens to swallow you whole if you lower your guard and let someone in. So you keep up those walls, fortifying them with steel just to keep yourself from drowning before you’ve even had a chance to live the way you were supposed to. No longer are you capable of becoming that sweet and innocent girl you could have been. Now you’re a bitter woman who snarls at the thought of weakness.”
― D.E. Chapman, Bleeding Red
