I wanted to stay locked away from the pain and destruction. I didn't want to be strong. I didn't want to be the 'smart girl'. I was so very tired. I just wanted it all to be over.

Ruta Sepetys
About This Quote

The world can be a hard place to live in. It is easy to be swept into the tide of life and lose our way. Sometimes, we can become so weary that we just want to leave everything behind and rest. It is during these times where the most important thing to do is get up, dust off our hands, and start all over again.

We must never give up on our dreams or goals. Instead, we must fight through the pain and confusion that comes with life. We must get strong enough to see beyond our own pain and destruction because this is what brings us the greatest glory.
