“Tina and her mother were in the process of healing; they had to heal and soon they would be healed. But Tina knew that was a load of shit. Tim’s death wasn’t some broken bone that could be fixed. Nothing could fix that. It pissed her right off the way everyone expected her to regenerate her heart the way she could regenerate skin on a cut.”
“She was damaged and broken and there wasn’t any kind of glue in the world that could fix her.”
“She plays music to heal herself, but nothing can heal her brokenness.”
“Time healed all wounds, but there was nothing you could do to fix stupid.”
“Sometimes limbs must be re-broken to set properly, her heart too needed to shatter anew before it could truly heal.”
“She knew she couldn’t escape unscathed, and the trauma would take her a long time to get past. And she might never fully heal mentally.There was no denying the fact, though, that everything had changed for her. To know what to expect wasn’t the same as actually living it.”
