Bittersweet Quote by Sandra Kring
““We’re in that place called “bittersweet.” That place, I reasoned when I was a girl, that if you could find it on a map, would be the mountain that sits between happy and sad. The place where you can almost feel God’s hand on your head and just know, deep down inside, that there was a good reason for every single thing that happened.””
