“Guilt, as an emotion, is there to hold us accountable. Its primary function is to correct our behavior so that we don't ever do again the thing that caused us to feel guilty in the first place. But your guilt isn't because of anything you did, or didn't do, Stubs. Your guilt is borrowed. You're stealing it from its true source, and you need to let it go. You need to set it free because it's not yours to carry. It never was.” — Victoria Laurie
