Quote by Emily Henry

“I felt so lost again. Every time I started to find my way, I seemed to slip further down. How could I trust what Gus and I have? How could I trust my own feelings? People were complicated. They weren't math problems; they were collections of feelings and decisions and dumb luck. The world was complicated too, not a beautifully hazy French film, but a disastrous, horrible mess, speckled with brilliance and love and meaning.”

And I wondered, how many people remain a seed because no one ever stepped up to cultivate them? And because no one did, beauty remained hidden and the greenhouse of our lives were left with a forever hole.”

“You can choose to take the Vaccine, or you can choose not to take the Vaccine. The choice is yours, but don’t go around forcing your choices on to others. You have every right to choose what you want, but every right comes with responsibility. You are responsible for your own safety and safety of others. Whatever the outcome is. You should be held accountable for your actions or choices and don’t choose to hate on others for making different choices than the one you made.”
