" But those stories aren't important to my story, and that's what I'm trying to muddle through right now—what I'm going to do, and where I'm going to go. And, most difficult of all, who I'm going to be—because who you are is just the stories you tell yourself about yourself, and the intersection of all the hurts you've ever had and how you survived them. "

― Alexandra Rowland , A Choir of Lies (A Conspiracy of Truths, #2)
