Ann Aguirre
I think my head's a minefield strewn with triggers, and maybe if I survive each explosion, what emerges from the wreckage will be me, really, truly me.
Ann Aguirre
There were different kinds of strength. I knew that now. It didn't always come from a knife or a willingness to fight. Sometimes it came from endurance, where the well ran deep and quiet. Sometimes it came from compassion and forgiveness.
Ann Aguirre
You ever have that feeling? Like you’ve known someone your whole life but you don’t know them at all.
Ann Aguirre
Don’t let them see you weak.
Ann Aguirre
My heart raced. He needs you, I thought. Don't let him down. I couldn't remember ever being so happy... or so scared.

For love to flourish there has to be trust. Promises don’t matter as much as personal choice.
Ann Aguirre
Sometimes the past needed to stay buried it was the only way you could move on. And sometimes you had to dig it up, because that too was the only way.
Ann Aguirre
I'll always want him. Until every sun goes dark in every sky, until I am nothing more than long-forgotten cosmic dust, I will want him. And even then I suspect my particles will long for his.

Now I know there are ways to belong to someone that don’t take anything away. A relationship shouldn’t impose limits—and if it does, then it’s wrong. A lover should help you exceed your potential, not clip your wings.
