Quote

This is not a love story. It is my life, and as such, there is love, loss, war, death, and sacrifice. It's about things that needed to be done and choices made. I regret nothing.

Ann Aguirre
Image
I’ve lost so many people. Some I left on purpose and never looked back. Some were taken from me, and I never said good-bye.
Ann Aguirre
Image
But the world moves on, even when you don't want it to, even when change feels like the end of everything. It never stops.

Each time Stalker called you 'dove', I wanted to hit him. Because you're not a little gray bird... you're all the light in the world.

Survival feels like cowardice.
Ann Aguirre
Image
I so enjoy it when people assume I'm stupid. Not that, just very focused on killing.
Ann Aguirre
Image
But courage wasn't an absence of fear it was fighting despite the knot in your stomach.
Ann Aguirre
Image
He'd said the sun could burn me. It certainly looked angry enough, all orange and glowing mad.

I always have someplace else I’d rather be, even if I don’t know where that is, yet.
