"As if you're a shadow on the wall attached to the horror. Your pain is the ghost of the smack you witnessed, but it's still pain. Just a different type of pain. Your body may not be cut or bruised, but your soul is ripped apart all the same."

-Katie McGarry, Only a Breath Apart

"The point I'm making is that you can choose to look at the tough moments as failures or you can choose to look at them as a bad few minutes in a good day. It's okay to feel sorry for yourself for a few seconds, but then you need to pick yourself up and brush yourself off. If you do that, you never fail."
