Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

“my children, who don’t know they play on a graveyard.
peeta says it will be okay. we have each other. and the book. we can make them understand in a way that will make them braver. but one day i’ll have to explain about my nightmares. why they came. why they won’t ever really go away.
i’ll tell them how i survive it. i’ll tell them that on bad mornings, it feels impossible to take pleasure in anything because im afraid it could be taken away. that’s when i make a list in my head of every act of goodness i’ve seen someone do. it’s like a game. repetitive. even a little tedious after more than twenty years.
but there are much worse games to play.”
hits me every time
