You can't exist in this world without leaving a piece of yourself behind.

long realizing my-sisters-keeper
It doesn't take a whole long life to realize that what we deserve to have, we rarely get.

My mother used to tell me that when push comes to shove, you always know who to turn to. That being a family isn't a social construct but an instinct.

They say that there are moments that open up your life like a walnut cracked, that change your point of view so that you never look at things the same way again.
growing-up wall smart
All teenagers knew this was true. The process of growing up was nothing more than figuring out what doors hadn't yet been slammed in your face. For years, parents tell you that you can be anything, have anything, do anything. That was why she'd been so eager to grow up-until she got to adolescence and hit a big fat wall ofreality.

One moment, you had someone to share your biggest triumphs and fatal flaws with; the next minute, you had to keep them bottled inside. One moment, you'd start to call her to tell her a snippet of news or to vent about your awful day before realizing you did not have that right anymore; the next, you could not remember the digits of her phone number.
grief mean joy
words are like nets - we hope they'll cover what we mean, but we know they can't possibly hold that much joy, or grief, or wonder.
karma fate what-you-deserve
Is Fate getting what you deserve, or deserving what you get?
fire helping remember
remember that every fire will burn itself out, even without your help.
children eye reflection
I ...understand how a parent might hit a child- it's because you can look into their eyes and see a reflection of yourself that you wish you hadn't.
