Being Raised In An Unstable Household Makes You Understand That The World Doesnt Exist To Accommodate

“Being raised in an unstable household makes you understand that the world doesn’t exist to accommodate you, which… is something a lot of people struggle to understand well into their adulthood. It makes you realize how quickly a situation can shift, how danger really is everywhere. But crises when they occur, do not catch you off guard; you have never believed you lived under a shelter of some essential benevolence. And an unstable childhood makes you appreciate calmness and not crave excitement.”

— Curtis Sittenfeld

“Cause you never think the last time’s going to be the last time - you think there will be more. You think you have forever, but you don’t.”

— Meredith Grey, Grey’s Anatomy.

people need to understand that once you go through your worst time alone, you really don’t care who stays in your life anymore.
