How sad it was, Carmen thought, that you acted awful when you were desperately sad and hurt and wanted to be loved. How tragic then, the way everyone avoided you and tiptoed around you when you really needed them. Carmen knew this vicious predicament as well as anyone in the world. How bitter it felt when you acted badly to everyone and ended up hating yourself the most. Ann Brashares
About This Quote

In order for us to be able to learn from our mistakes, we must understand that we are not alone. We must understand that we are all human and that we all have the capacity to grow and change. Calling a person a monster is a very powerful thing. It can be very difficult to change a person’s opinion of you when they believe you are a monster.

When someone calls you a monster, it can make it difficult for them to see the good in you. A good friend of mine once said, “No one wants to be told they’re a monster, because it’s easy to hate them and hard to love them.” In the end, if we want to be loved by others, we must first learn how to love ourselves first.
