“So I’m doing it for you because that’s how people should behave; they should fill in each other’s gaps.”

Talia Hibbert,
Get a Life, Chloe Brown
“Love is certainly never safe, but it’s absolutely worth it.” ― Talia Hibbert, Get a Life, Chloe Brown
“The thing about mental health was, you couldn’t take a course of antibiotics and be magically healed. Some people’s brains just thought too much or felt too much or hurt too much, and you had to stay on top of that.” ― Talia Hibbert, Take a Hint, Dani Brown
“Bravery wasn't an identity, so much as a choice.” ― Talia Hibbert, Get a Life, Chloe Brown
“You always say such lovely things to me, Red. Do you say them to yourself?” ― Talia Hibbert, Get a Life, Chloe Brown
“I told you before, that there are different ways to fail. Imperfection is inevitable. That’s life. But it doesn’t sound to me like you failed at all, Eve. It sounds like your dream broke, and you’ve been picking up shattered pieces, and blaming yourself when your hands bleed.” ― Talia Hibbert, Act Your Age, Eve Brown
“The world wasn’t split into unhappy endings and happily ever afters. There were blessings everywhere and a thousand shades of joy all around him.” ― Talia Hibbert, Take a Hint, Dani Brown
“Life hurts,” he said fiercely. “It’s unavoidable. But I know the difference between torture and growing pains.” ― Talia Hibbert, Get a Life, Chloe Brown
“Anything you want to do, you can. Hurdles were made to be jumped. Glass ceilings were made to be smashed. But all that can be exhausting, so make sure you care for yourself too. There's great value in the things that bring you joy.” ― Talia Hibbert, Take a Hint, Dani Brown
“You think this is a big deal because, no offense, you've had a lot of people in your life who claimed to care about you but didn't act like it. That's not me. I can cook, and right now, you can't. So I'm doing it for you because that's how people should behave; they should fill in each other's gaps. Don't think about it too hard.” ― Talia Hibbert, Get a Life, Chloe Brown
“Your abilities lie in the places people usually overlook, so you’ve been convinced you don’t have any at all. But you’re smart, and you’re capable, and if people struggle to see that, it’s their problem, not yours.” ― Talia Hibbert, Act Your Age, Eve Brown
“You're not just my sunshine; you're the sun.” ― Talia Hibbert, Act Your Age, Eve Brown
“Loving you is the easiest thing I've ever done.” ― Talia Hibbert, Take a Hint, Dani Brown
“You were hurt, and you reacted. You were in an unhealthy situation in more ways than one, and you panicked and cleansed everything with fire. Don’t dismiss your emotions and your self-protection as just a fucked-up decision. Don’t reduce something so complex and real and important to nothing.” ― Talia Hibbert, Get a Life, Chloe Brown
“Because he knew her well enough to realize she'd rather be holed up in here like Gollum, stroking books and murmuring, "My precious.” ― Talia Hibbert, Take a Hint, Dani Brown
“I started feeling afraid of my own body, like it was a torture chamber I’d been trapped inside.” ― Talia Hibbert, Get a Life, Chloe Brown
“Sometimes, being convenient instead of real was exhausting. So maybe from now on, she’d stop.” ― Talia Hibbert, Act Your Age, Eve Brown
“What you get out of being loved, it’s supposed to be worth the compromise. When it’s good, it makes you want to compromise.” ― Talia Hibbert, Take a Hint, Dani Brown
“At the time, it was romance novels that reminded me. Since you’ve never read one, that probably sounds weird. But it’s all about emotion, Dan—the whole thing, the whole story, the whole point. Just book after book about people facing their issues head on, and handling it, and never, ever failing—at least, not for good. I felt like my world had already ended unhappily, but every book I read about someone who’d been through the worst and found happiness anyway seemed to say the opposite. Like my story didn’t need to be over if I didn’t want it to. Like, if I could just be strong enough to reclaim my emotions, and to work through them, maybe I’d be okay again. That’s kind of what inspired me to, er, keep going. To make good choices, even when feeling better seemed impossible.” ― Talia Hibbert, Take a Hint, Dani Brown
