“Memory has its own special kind. It selects, eliminates, alters, exaggerates, minimizes, glorifies, and vilifies also; but in the end it creates its own reality, its heterogeneous but usually coherent version of events; and no sane human being ever trusts someone else’s version more than his own.”

All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
-Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy-
The meaning of this quote is that, if a family is happy, there is nothing interesting or insightful to observe about that family. On the other hand, families that fail to thrive as a unit all have unique stories behind their struggles. |

“There are two kinds of guilt. The kind that’s a burden and the kind that gives you purpose. Let your guilt be your fuel. Let it remind you of who you want to be. Draw a line in your mind. Never cross it again. You have a soul. It’s damaged but it’s there. Don’t let them take it from you.”
