1 " We all remember people the way we want to remember them. "
― Cassia Leo , The Way We Rise (The Story of Us, #3)
2 " I’d like to think there’s a simple reason why people visit reflection pools. When you look into one on a clear day, you see your own mirror image. When there’s a storm, and the rain is splashing the surface, or the wind whips the water up in rippling waves, it becomes impossible to see a clear image of anything. It’s easy to feel as if you’re lost in the storm. But storms don’t last. "
3 " This is how the story ends, with a promise of forever. "
4 " I close my laptop feeling different. Like my problems are not roadblocks, they’re just speed bumps. They’re manageable, with a little extra perspective. "
5 " Grief never ends, but with time we learn who and what we can turn to for strength, and it becomes easier to rise after each fall. "
6 " There’s beauty in selflessness. There’s honor in putting aside your fears to make sure the ones you love are taken care of. "
7 " I had a sister once. She had a lot of dreams. Lots of things she wanted to do, but she died before the world could see how amazing she was.” I look him in the eye and he meets my gaze as he waits for me to finish. “You want to know why I’m doing this? Because everyone deserves to have their story heard. "
8 " You see, in real life, there are no happy endings, because real life, real love, has no ending. So all of this… This is our happy beginning. "
