When tears come, I breathe deeply and rest. I know I am swimming in a hallowed stream where many have gone before. I am not alone, crazy, or having a nervous breakdown… My heart is at work, my soul is awake.
— Mary Margaret Funk, Thoughts Matter: The Practice of a Spiritual Life
But more importantly, you are a gift, to all who know you, whether or not they realize it. If they don’t, they are blind. You have a special place in this world. All you have to do is find it. Do not give up on yourself, on the truths you have realized. Do not give in to those who would crush your dreams like nutshells. And never turn away from forever love.
Never let the odds keep you from doing
what you know in your heart you were meant to do.
— H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.
Be adventurous.
Touch everything.
See what happens.
Don’t use that back button!
Have no fear. Go forward, never go back.
Never give up. There is always someplace to go.
