Quote of the Day

When you choose to love someone who is damaged . . . you take on the weight of
their past,
their pain,
their guilt.

You must be strong.
You must be patient.

You can stop the bleeding . . .
And help them scar over.
But they will always, always
be a little broken.

If you can handle that . . .
if you can accept the dents and cracks . . .
if you can get them to trust you . . .
You will never find a better ally than one who is damaged.

Above all else: they know about survival.
After all, they are still here . . . wondering if someone like you will ever love them.
