If I Wake

“There may be a future for me after all and one day, I may live long enough to give this bracelet to my grandson. Willis knew he had the code as soon as he read the assignment in the blue folder. It’s in his hands now. As Tayla said, it’s the future, we don’t get to know how it ends.”

“You have to learn to love yourself. How can others appreciate what you have to offer if you don’t value yourself?”

“I die,” I say with as much conviction as I can muster. “What happens to me then?” Willis says. “If you don’t live, I never have a chance to be born, to live, to make a difference. You’re throwing my life away and I have no say in it.” “What if the world is a better place without me in it?” “My grandmother made a huge difference to the lives of so many people”

“We have to do the right thing by ourselves because doing nothing is much worse.”

“She has a long journey ahead of her. She doesn’t need to hear she will lose before she even begins”

“The mind does strange things when confronted with sights it doesn’t want to process, sometimes leading to actions that would be deemed inappropriate at any other time”

“The more happiness you put out into the world, the more will find its way back to you. If I can make one person’s day better because of my actions, it’s been a good day for everyone”
