❝We all are addicted to something that ruins us.❞ Just some powerful quotes that I found and compiled them into a book. Highest rank; #1 in Poetry (straight #1 from March 16, 2016 - April 18, 2016)

Metanoia (n) the journey of changing one's heart, self, or way of life Lily James is a focused student in her second year at Oxford. She plays field hockey and competes on a rowing team, and on the weekends you'll find her doing homework instead of out with her friends. Always careful, people think that's just the way Lily is and always has been. But there was a time, 4 years ago, when Lily was a wild child desperate and recklessly trying to be free. She got her wish, but what we wish for is not always what's best and Lily's innocence was lost along with her heart. Lily doesn't think about her time four years ago if she can help it, which of course means that there are times she can think of little else. She shuts her eyes, focuses on her school, and pretends she was never sixteen and naïve even if being sixteen and naïve is the only reason she has the luxury to make believe. Lily's world is turned upside down when she takes an unexpected trip to Paris with some friends and meets up with someone from her past. Her nightmares become reality as she works to ignore someone who clearly isn't going to let her. Pretending never hurt anyone. (Except for how it did.)

Because sometimes one person's wish is another person's battle. [lowercase intentional]
