Erica Waters, All That Consumes Us
When history fails to shed light on the truth, myth creates its own.
Strangely… seeing you makes my heart feel a little more at ease. Why is that? My mother also… she had no choice. I think that there must be a reason why she had to abandon me. Still… you don’t have to forgive her. Because it doesn’t change the fact that she’s a bad mother. That’s why, instead I’ll forgive Soyoung. Woosung will never forgive me. ‘The reason I threw Woosung away is because I don’t want to make Woosung the murderer’s child.’ But still, the fact that I abandoned him is still the same.

Saving his life had only been a fortunate coincidence for him. Falling in love with her, his greatest failure so far.
From Sand and Ash by Amy Harmon
Fear is strange. It settles on chests and seeps through skin, through layers of tissue, muscle, and bone and collects in a soul-sized black hole, sucking the joy out of life, the pleasure, the beauty. But not the hope. Somehow, the hope is the only thing resistant to the fear, and it is that hope that makes the next breath possible, the next step, the next tiny act of rebellion, even if that rebellion is simply staying alive.
“No woman should be made to fear that she was not enough.”
