Bad things don't happen to people because they deserve for them to happen. It just doesn't work that way. It's just… life. And no matter who we are, we have to take the hand we're dealt, crappy though it may be, and try our very best to move forward anyway, to love anyway, to have hope anyway… to have faith that there's a purpose to the journey we're on.

It's not the things you do with love and good intentions that you end up regretting. It's the things you don't do that you have to live with.
—Mia Sheridan in Most of All You
There's no sense of satisfaction in something you didn't do anything to achieve.
—Mia Sheridan in Becoming Calder
Funny how different our lives were, and yet how similar our hearts felt.
—Mia Sheridan in Kyland
I think that when enough time has passed, when you've survived that which you didn't imagine you could, there's a dignity in that. Something you can own. A pride in knowing the pain made you stronger. The pain made you fight to succeed. Someday, when I'm living my dreams, I'm going to think of all the things that broke my heart and I'm going to be thankful for them.
