1 " I used to believe that everyone gets one perfect day sometime in their lives—if they were lucky. But I had it all wrong. We don’t get one perfect day. We get a lifetime of imperfect days, and it’s up to us to decide what we want to do with them. Some days are hard, and they leave us feeling like we just got our asses kicked. That’s the way I felt after Reed pushed me and wrecked my knee—broken and battered, with a life that would never be as whole as the one I had before. But broken and battered can become broken and beautiful. "
― Kami Garcia , Broken Beautiful Hearts
2 " I want a happily even after. The kind of happiness you have to earn. The kind you find after a broken heart or an injured knee. After a mistake that feels impossible to fix. It’s the even after part that matters. I already have the happy part. "
3 " Losing him made me realize that we can’t control everything that happens in life. The universe has its own plans and we don’t get a vote. "
4 " I didn’t want it to look like I was running away. I don’t want him to think he broke me.” “I hear you. But leaving doesn’t always mean you’re running away. Sometimes you have to regroup before you go back and fight another battle.” “There won’t be another battle. I already lost the war.” And my best friend. “Don’t be so sure. You’re a fighter like your mom. Don’t let a pathetic excuse for a boy change that. "
5 " I believe everything happens for a reason and usually the reason sucks. "
6 " But more than any of those things, I believe that if you;re lucky -- at least once in your life --- you might have a perfect day. A Day when all the stars in your personal universe align and your dreams seem possible "
