“Sometimes the worst thing that happens to you, the thing you think you can’t survive…it’s the thing that makes you better than you used to be.”

“It’s all about the first person you wanna tell good news to.”

““The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.””

“It’s so easy to laugh. It’s so easy to hate. It takes guts to be gentle and kind.”

“I wish I was special.”

““Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, then it’s not the end.””

“I’m always soft for you, that’s the problem. You could come knocking on my door five years from now and I would open my arms wider and say ‘come here, it’s been too long, it felt like home with you.”

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
