I feel bare. I didn't realize I wore my secrets as armor until they were gone and now everyone sees me as I really am.
But now, I am also learning this: WE can be mended. We mend each other.
We believe in shouting for those who can only whisper, in defending those who cannot defend themselves.
It isn’t right to wish pain on other people just because they hurt me first.
I feel like myself, strong and weak at once - allowed, at least for a little while, to be both.
She can't possibly be me, though she moves when I move
Human reason can excuse any evil.
No matter how long you train someone to be brave, you never know if they are or not until something real happens.
We both have war inside us. Sometimes it keeps us alive. Sometimes it threatens to destroy us.
We kiss again and this time, it feels familiar. I know exactly how we fit together, his arm around my waist, my hands on his chest, the pressure of his lips on mine. We have each other memorized.
You don’t believe things because they make your life better, you believe them because they’re true.
It doesn't prove anything except that you're bullying us. Which, as I recall, is a sign of cowardice.
That's what love does. When it's right, it makes you more than you were, more than you thought you could be.
The truth has a way of changing people's plans.
