I believe that the darkness reminds us where light can be
Phoebe shrugged a little, continuing to shroud her heart in a protective shield from the hurtful words he spewed and things he did. ”I cannot help your perception of me, which is different than how others perceive me.” He could think she thought herself pure of heart. He could think she held others to impossibly high standards. There wasn’t really anything she could do about it. It made her sad, but there wasn’t anything to be done about it either. It simply was.
Leave it be, Phoebe.
”Because I have hope that someone someday will disagree with me.” she said softly, smiling just the tiniest bit. ”Just like you think I am an awful person and others don’t, I believe that someday someone will think I am loveable.” She looked down at her hands which trembled from the bits of blight that still affected her. ”I believe that the darkness reminds us where light can be; and I will never give up on that. This is just a moment of darkness, and someday the light will shine again.”
