1 " Some wounds don't heal; they aren't suppose to. "
― Alexis Bass , What's Broken Between Us
2 " An even bigger miracle is the ways we find to cope with our own brutal mistakes and accept them, especially when there's no solution. Maybe, when there's no repainting what we've wrecked and we have to navigate around the shape, broken parts of our own destruction, that's when we need one another the most. "
3 " Sometimes, next to him, she looked like she was holding in too much happiness for one person. "
4 " He was..." Thoughtful, I think. So thoughtful that when he told you a joke it was as though it'd been tailored just for you. And genuine - he said something to you, he meant it, he was good for it, he'd fight for it and for you, too. And warm. He was inviting in a way that no one in my family is, including me. "
5 " The way he sticks up for her makes my bones ache, like they've been shattered into a million pieces and I'm going to whoosh into the ground any second. "
6 " And sometimes, it doesn't matter what anyone tells you to think or feel, your own mind and heart will decide for you and make an inarguable case against any sort of logic or reason. "
7 " Maybe, when there's no repairing what we've wrecked and we have to navigate around the sharp, broken parts of our own destruction, that's when we need one another the most. "
8 " I think that everything won't always be so hard. Someday we'll stop measuring things in sadness and anger. Someday we'll learn how to live carelessly. "
9 " Or maybe everyone feels this way-like they've failed or been failed. Families: letting each other down since the beginning of time. "
10 " We disagreed about things I didn't think were even up for debate. "
