“At this age, everything is changing. Day by day we don’t notice, but just look back over the past year and you will realize everything has. People you thought were going to be there forever aren’t, and people you never imagined you’d be speaking to are now some of your closest friends. Life makes little sense, and the more we grow the less sense it will make. So make the most of it now, before it all changes once again, because in the near future, all of this is only going to be memories.”

“Some stones are softer than your hearts.”

“People never learn anything by being told. They have to find out for themselves”

“Recovery is a process. It takes time. It takes patience. It takes everything you’ve got.”

“Healing is layers. Healing is time. Healing is excruciating. Once you think it’s done, it’s not.”

“Not everyone is okay with living like an open wound. But the thing about open wounds is that, well, you aren’t ignoring it, you’re healing. The fresh air can get to it. It’s honest. You aren’t hiding who you are. You aren’t rotting. People can give you advice on how to heal without scarring badly.”
