“Mirror sighed. "I believe everyone deserves a happily ever after. But I think that happy endings don't just happen by accident- you can't wait for one. You have to make them happen.”

“you can't deny they ever happened. You can't deny you ever loved them, love them still, even if loving them causes you pain”
