1 " The past must be let go before the future can be grasped. "
― Lisa Wingate , The Tidewater Sisters (Carolina Heirlooms #1.5)
2 " I think of an old sermon my grandfather quoted from time to time— something about not looking back when you’re plowing a field, but instead finding a mark in the distance and focusing on that. Otherwise, the rows won’t come out straight. "
3 " Sooner or later, the future always circles back to the past. "
4 " I’ve finally come to fully understand that you can’t fix another person. You can’t fix the past. You can only change your way of reacting to it. "
5 " Real love isn’t a payment. It isn’t a response to your accomplishments or anything else. It’s a gift without strings. "
6 " Eventually, you must stop running to something or from something and embrace where you are. Otherwise you’ll never embrace anything. "
7 " I realize that those who have loved us are never really gone. They live on in all the ones we love and all the ways we love. They are the reason we know how to love at all. "
8 " You can’t fix the past. You can only change your way of reacting to it. "
9 " A life can be blessed without your ever deserving it. You can be loved by people just because they choose to love you. "
