"Every scar is a memory, Zoe, and a reminder of how strong you are, that's all. Besides, this one'll go away. I promise."

"But what if it doesn't?"

"If it doesn't? Then, it'll just be a reminder that you'll get hurt, but you'll get better too. Scars remind us we can live life without fear because no matter what happens, we'll heal. We'll get better."

~ Lindsey Fairleigh & Lindsey Pogue (After the Ending)
