We Were Liars (Part II)


On pages 99-102, Cadence and her friends talk about mottos and I wanted to share some that stuck out to me.

Cadence's motto:
Always do what you are afraid to do.

I think this is a very beautiful motto and can be helpful/not helpful. It's helpful because sometimes the things you're afraid of can actually be fun or beneficial after you overcome your fear. For example, Cadence was afraid of kissing Gat, but she did so anyway and he kissed back. So I'd say, it was worth the risk. But it can also not be helpful because sometimes it can leave you in emotional or physical pain.

Mirren's motto:
Be a little kinder than you have to.

Have you ever had annoying siblings/cousins and wanted to be rude to them, but you knew you had to play nice? I can say I definitely have. What's really amazing is if you just genuinely want to be kind to others without your parents or anyone telling you to be. It says a lot about your character.
