Quote When Life Gets Tough Novels & Stories

There was a plant and a framed quote behind me: “Ashes to beauty” The interviewer,Whitney,appeared on the screen,poised and polished. With a short intro,we dove into the interview proper. “Misss Sophia,your story has touched millions in weeks. But if you had to go back to the moment you were heartbroken,what would you tell that version of yourself.” I paused,then smiled gently. “I'd tell her that heartbreak won't break her forever. That the loss of something isn't the end. It can be the beginning of the real you.”

LILA POV I'm about to do something stupid. Don't blame me. Sometimes, life is like a cruel joke, serving you lemons when you don't even have water or sugar to make lemonade. And yet, they say you have to make it work. Either you stand up and do something, or you sit there and let life devour you whole.

I snort. What a cliché quote some or other happy drunk motivational speaker concocted when he was at a loss for words. It must be the same asshole who suggested grabbing life by the horns, that winners never quit, and that everything happens for a reason. “Well, keep on dreaming, girl.” Cause that dream is not gonna happen. Luckily, that’s Axel’s shit. Not mine. I fake a smile, “Cheers!” and throw the alcohol down my throat before I bite into a piece of lemon. The sour taste causes goosebumps on my skin.

“Because I’m afraid you’d be less excited about the news tomorrow when you suffer a headache.” “You got help,” I say excitedly. “That’s wonderful. See, I told you it would work.” “You were right,” he chuckles. “Ah,” I exhale deeply, feeling happy and relaxed. “Things are finally starting to go our way. I can just feel it.” “You do realise it won’t be easy?” He glances at me before parking in front of my cottage. “Nothing in life comes easy,” I roll my eyes. “There are bundles of cliches confirming it. What’s worth having is worth fighting for. Nothing in life’s for free. Every …”

I know, I'm used to that reaction when I tell people he's my dad". I try to sit up, she assists me " Thank you". "I am sorry for what happened to you, I can only imagine how you feel". I smile at her "it's okay. I guess that's life, life isn't fair". "You have to stay strong though, like my dad always says, When life pushes you to the ground, lick it and enjoy it". I scoff instantly " I know, he's terrible at quotes". "I guess I do owe your dad, he did saved my life, I wish I can repay him, but I have nothing".

Bo Ra said, “Yeah! He is the sunshine in my life. Because of him my life turned into heaven. He helped me a lot. He solved all of my problems.” Yoo Na said, “Sorry I opened your past. I know it would hurt you.” Bo Ra said, “It’s hurting me… but still my friends. They cared me a lot when I broke up with my ex. They bring joy to my life.” Yoo Na said, “I really envy you all. You are all talking about yourself only. You didn’t mention your family.” Ji Soon said, “We are more than a family. We advise you all. We will care you. We will beat you.”

Jess has never raised her voice at me, not even once. "I feel like I am dead anyway. What is the point of living?" I say out loud and Jess gasp. "Don't say such, you hear me? Life is a journey with a lot of potholes on the road, but you must be strong enough to get yourself and the car to the other side rather than feeling sorry for yourself. It won't get you anyway, and you know it. You are one of the strongest people I have ever known. You never give up no matter what. Every problem has a solution, remember?" she turns my words against me. I don't know what to do or feel right now.

We sat at the back of his truck and drank. He said he watched me the whole time and was about to buy something in the store but saw me in trouble and decided to help. I thanked him again and apologized for my action, explaining that I had a rough day. "We all have our dark moments. Just don't give in and let it control you. Cry if you like. Let it all out. It will make you feel better. After that, get up and move on. Life is too short of making it complicated." "Wow! It seems like you're a life coach or something," I jokingly said. But his words are uplifting. I was doing it to break the awkwardness I felt.

Otherwise, I'd have divorced her long ago. A chill ran through me as his comments sank in. Mark couldn't resist adding, "No matter what she does at home, you're the one bringing in money. Without you, would she even have this cushy life? A kidney is a small price to pay." His words had barely settled when the scalpel sliced into my abdomen. Xavier's eyes gleamed with anticipation. "Once Queenie recovers, I'll—" "Wait!" Holly cried out. "Dr. Larson, it seems…"

Shay said solemnly, “Your life is yours to live. Out with the old and in with the new, right? Don’t take things too hard.” I nodded and watched them leave the room.
