“No one's place in this world is guaranteed. Not everyone is going to get a happy ending. But life isn't about how it ends. It's about the moments between. It's about the small things. The way our loved ones laugh. The sight of a butterfly in the sunlight after a year or two in the darkness. The love and support of an old friend. They might not be with us in body, but they are with us in spirit. The feeling of something we'd thought lost to us forever returned in a single, life-changing moment. Yes, that is simple, even though it might be momentous to us as individuals. Because every day, on this planet, people are born and people die and stranger things happen. But I know my place now, and my purpose. And no matter what trial you have to endure to find that out... It's worth it.”

“I don’t even know how many times I was betrayed… What I do know is how every betrayal affected me. And yet I still chose to trust others. I didn’t change, I didn’t shut down, I didn’t become cold. Maybe that makes me soft, maybe that makes me brave… but this is who I am. A person who gets hurt, but still believes. A person who breaks, but still chooses to bounce back.”

“Sometimes, even when you lie to protect someone, it tears you apart. It breaks your heart because you carry the weight of every word you didn’t say and every truth you had to hide. You watch them safe, smiling, thinking everything is fine… while your own heart quietly breaks under the burden of your lies and the things you’re hiding. You know you did it for them, yet somehow, it still feels like you who has hurt them.”
