V.E. Schwab: "Memories were like wine. A new bottle felt full of promise, but the older a vintage got, the more bitter it became."

You can't grow if you're still stuck in the past. Let it go and move on.

After a while you must let go of what lies behind you and press forward. If you don't, the past will destroy your future.

After a while, you learn that you don’t need anyone else in order to survive. No one is ever going to always be there, no matter what they say or what they promise. You just gotta suck it up, accept it, and keep moving on.
