Quote by Phoebe Ravencraft

“Forgiving someone else is an act of love – maybe not for them, but definitely for you. You don’t have to like them anymore or ever associate with them again. Or, if they’ve died, you can still be upset about their absence. But carrying a grudge or being resentful only robs what time we have left of its pleasure. Forgiveness is self-love. It is caring for your own soul. And it is the kindest gesture you can make to yourself.”

It seemed such an alien con­cept now, to have a nor­mal day. To walk around obliv­i­ous, just par­tic­i­pat­ing in the world. It seemed un­rea­son­able for any­one to be al­lowed a nor­mal day.”
