“ Goddamn, sometimes it hurt to be free. ”
As mothers and daughters, we are connected with one another. My mother is the bones of my spine, keeping me straight and true. She is my blood, making sure it runs rich and strong. She is the beating of my heart. I cannot now imagine a life without her.
~ Kristin Hannah
If I have learned anything in this long life of mine, it is this: in love we find out who we want to be; in war we find out who we are.
Love. It was the beginning and end of everything, the foundation and the ceiling and the air in between.
To make real friends you have to put yourself out there. Sometimes people will let you down, but you can't let that stop you. If you get hurt, you just pick yourself up, dust off your feelings, and try again.
