Right now Quote by Sara Taylor Woods
““Can you listen for a minute? I know you won’t listen to Olly or your mom but maybe you’ll listen to me. Your dad has hurt you in some really profound ways, but I don’t want you to think the only way of fixing it is by finding a man who won’t do that.” “Are you trying to tell me I shouldn’t be dating anyone?” “No,” she said. “I’m not. I’m not even telling you you shouldn’t be dating Sean, or that you shouldn’t go see him right now. I’m telling you I’m here for you, always, and one hundred percent, even if everyone else fucks off. I’m telling you you’re brave and brilliant and strong. You’re the sister I never had, and I love you.””
