The Engagement Quotes

“Do you ever look back and wonder how much of your past affects the present? Like, one simple thing you did or said took you on a whole new path in life? What if you hadn’t been cruel to someone, or hadn’t acted a certain way, mistaken someone’s meaning, or hadn’t done something that was so out of character it influenced every decision you made from then on?”

“Trauma is… well, it’s devastating. It affects every part of your life and how you trust and relate to others or make decisions. It’s not always true that it makes you stronger. In fact, it can have the opposite effect. But what it does do is make you consider things more carefully, so you don’t repeat past patterns. The irony is that if you ignore it, those patterns repeat anyway.”
