Best Quotes From 'If We Were Villains'

it’s totally okay and healthy to mourn things that never happened or that you never had

[alinavgo]

You don’t start being a good person when you’re perfectly kind and perfectly honest and perfectly tolerant, you start being a good person when you try. The fact that you care makes you a good person.
