“‎YA heroines can choose to have sex & they can choose not to without either decision becoming the focus of their story.”

“We become our decisions over time. We choose to love, or we can choose to hate. We can choose to forgive, or we can choose to take revenge; to have hope, or we can choose to fall into despair. But, regardless, we become our choices we make over time." p. 318”

“But that's just it; I can either focus on what I have lost, or what I have gained, and I choose the latter.”

“From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life.”

“We can always choose to perceive things differently. We can focus on what's wrong in our life, or we can focus on what's right.”
