41 " There are women who struggle to GAIN weight who are beautiful. There are women who struggle to LOSE weight who are beautiful. You know who is the most beautiful? Those who learn to love themselves the way they are. You don't need to change for ANYONE. "
― Teresa Mummert
42 " When I met her, I saw her as someone else who needed saving but she had saved me. She had given me hope when I had given up on everything in my life. "

43 " I know i don't get the happily ever after. My knight and shinning armor took the highway detour around this godforsaken shit hole. I've made peace with that. That doesn't mean i'm going to lie down like a doormat and let every cocky prick in the trailer have his way with me." - White Trash Beautiful "

44 " Never give up. Things will get hard. No relationship is easy. You have to work through your problems as if tomorrow isn't guaranteed, because it's not. Never go to bed angry and always make sure you say I love you every chance you get. "
45 " It wasn’t as easy for others to accept the darker side of themselves. Most like to cling to the notion that hesitation still marked the presence of morality. Deep down we were all just selfish animals. We liked to take… or be taken. "

49 " You can be a cocky asshole to me. I deal with little pricks like you all of the time. But you leave Jenn the hell alone or the next time you take a piss, it will be through a fucking tube. Do we understand each other? "

51 " This isn’t a joke. This is life or fucking death, Lily. I am trying to save you.”"Save me from who?""From me, darlin'. "
52 " I'm not naive. I know I don't get the happily ever after. My knight in shining armor took the highway detour around this godforsaken shit hole... "
53 " Your home is your jail, Bird. I’m going to set you free. "
54 " You have no idea how someone will react in a frightening situation until you're in it. Most would call me a monster, but even I get scared of the darkness that creeps inside of me. "
55 " That's because you're in here, sweetheart. I'd walk through hell for you." I placed a kiss on her forehead, letting my lips linger for a moment. There was no way she could fully understand how monumental this was for me. All of this. Her stepping back in my life had set in motion a huge change inside of me. It felt like my heart had remembered how to beat again. "
56 " I had never been scared of deployments or of war, but now I was scared to leave. I didn’t want to leave her. When I met her, I saw her as someone else who needed saving but she had saved me. She had given me hope when I had given up on everything in my life. "
57 " Part of me wanted to talk myself out of what I was doing. I knew there was no coming back from the feelings I was allowing back, but I didn't really care. It was a crippling addiction and I didn't want the cure. "
58 " You can pretend none of this ever happened when you leave, or pretend you had no choice. I don’t give a fuck what you have to tell yourself to sleep at night. For the next two weeks you belong to me. "
59 " Humans by nature are pack animals. We take comfort in those around us, and value our worth by how many others deem us important. We struggle to fit in, be like the others. "

60 " I thought about how my life had drastically changed after the last few days. I had been on a downward spiral, but after meeting Mr. Honor I felt like I had a reason to get up in the morning, a reason to show up to class. Here he was feeling as if he had ruined my life, but I felt like he had saved it. He had saved me. I was finally living. "
