“It stings sometimes—that feeling of being forgotten and unnoticed. It’s hard to make an entrance when no one’s watching you in the first place.”

“It took me a long while to realize it but being unseen didn’t mean I didn’t matter. It didn’t mean that I wasn’t chosen. When you think about it, it all comes down to who’s looking. You don’t need every eye on you. Just the right one.”

“We will ask ourselves: Do I matter? And that question will turn our insides out and press heavy on our hearts hoping that the answer is the biggest yes. That we do matter. Small as we are. Unseen and unknown as we are. That we matter. And knowing that should make all the difference in our lives.”

“I’m slowly coming to realize that there’s no yellow brick road to utopia. Utopia isn’t a destination. It’s the journey. It’s the everyday moments and an environment you carry within you. It’s heaven on earth in your heart stretching its vines into the real world. That’s the reality of (earthly) utopia.
