Quote by Emma R. Alban

“The two of them left standing in the innermost circles of their hoop cages, arms around each other even as their hips remain two feet apart. They separate and stand straight, taking each other in for the first time. It’s just them in their drawers, chemises, and stays, and Beth feels a change in the air. Gwen holds out a hand and together they step out of their hoops and shuffle close to the bed.”

“Сердце замерло, и словно кто-то привернул громкий фоновый звук. А в ушах все еще звенело от этого пугающего раската. Из-под этого звона, приглушенно, словно из-под воды, послышался вскрик. Все происходило словно в замедленном движении. Я поглядела вправо. Чуть ниже, в направлении этого крика, и успела увидеть, как сильный удар развернул Шафина, как Шафин валится на траву. Заряд угодил в него.”

“Evaluate the decisions you have ever made and ask yourself if they led you to a better place. If not, consider what you can learn and the things you need to change. Yes, some of your decisions may not have been great, but do not let them rewrite your name in a negative way. As you prepare for better days, stay in the right lane.”

“Life, Jersey Girl, sometimes pauses. It stops. Sometimes we don’t even realize how everything around us is moving so quickly while we’re standing in the middle of it, allowing it to pass us by. Most of us, if not all, just lose the why. Some of us never figure it out to begin with. We lose sight of the purpose that wakes us up every morning and pushes our day forward. We lose a sense of hope and the feeling of life in general. We view life as more of a test, one that’s trying to beat us down every day.”
