It's okay to accept things from people. It doesn't make you weak or helpless.

Maybe we were all destined to just keep doing the same stupid things, over and over again, never really learning a single thing.

For the first time I could remember, I felt weak, woozy and stupid— like a human-being. Like a very small and helpless human-being.

Sometimes you have to allow yourself to be helpless.

Sometimes, you get things right the first time. Others, the second. But the third time, they say, is the charm.

The strong do what they have to do and the weak accept what they have to accept.
