Sarah J. Maas said this quote

She shook off his grip. I am what I am, and I don't particularly care what you think of me.” Well, I care what you think of me. I care enough that I stayed at this disgusting party for you. And I care enough that I'd attend a thousand more like it so I can spend a few hours with you when you aren't looking at me like I'M not worth the dirt beneath your shoes.
