We're all damaged, it seems. Some of us, more than others....We carry the damage with us from childhood, then as grownups, we give as good as we get....Ultimately, we all do damage....And then, we set about the business of fixing whatever we can.

We all go through life like bulls in a china shop. A chip here, a crack there. Doing damage to ourselves, to other people....The problem is trying to figure out how to control the damage we've done, or that's been done to us....Sometimes the damage catches us by surprise....Sometimes we think we can fix the damage....And sometimes the damage is something we can't even see.

You don't get to call me a whore. When I met you, I thought I had found the person that I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I was done, so all the boys, and all the bars, and all the obvious daddy issues. Who cared, because I was done. You left me. You chose Addison. I'm all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke. You don't get to call me a whore.

At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don’t really expect it. It’s like one day you realize the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed of. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it’s not so important that it’s happy ever after just that it’s happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon people will surprise you. And once and a while people may even take your breath away.

After careful consideration and many sleepless nights, here's what I've decided. There's no such thing as a grown-up. We move on, we move out, we move away from our families and form our own....But the basic insecurities, the basic fears and all those old wounds just grow up with us....And just when we think that life and circumstance have forced us to truly, once and for all, become an adult,....your mother says something like that....Or worse, something like that....We get bigger, we get taller, we get older. But, for the most part, we're still a bunch of kids, running around the playground, trying desperately to fit in.
