Quotes from the same author

I want you to remember who you are, despite the bad things that are happening to you. Because those bad things aren't you. They are just things that happen to you. You need to accept that who you are and the things that happen you, are not one and the same.
 Colleen Hoover
You don't deserve words, Sky. You deserve actions.
