Love is for children and dimwads.

Except when it comes to Mom. She is, and always has been, the driving force in this family. And sometimes that means driving us head-on, no possible change of course, into a wall.

Funny how when your life is mostly bullshit, you turn off feeling. Sometimes it's hard to turn it back on again.

Forgiveness isn’t my best thing. Easier staying pissed. But I’m tired of being pissed all the time. Tired of feeling hurt by stuff that can never be fixed because it is an indelible part of the past.

back turned, you don't have to look at what you've left behind. And the first person who turned their back on you can't watch you break down and cry.

Happiness is a bull's-eye, awaiting arrows of pain.

She's incredible, not that she's perfect. But you once said imperfections create character.
