“Your past does not define your future. How you ever gonna change the world, if you can’t change yourself?”

“Change takes years. It’s not a straight road — like, it doesn’t move smoothly forward, little by little. It’s more like circles. To forgive others means I have to be open and empathetic to others; but being open-hearted means being open to the possibility of hurt and pain. I still have my trust issues, a feeling that I need to guard myself. I guard my heart to protect my heart; I guard my heart out of old habits. I wonder about whether my trust issues contradict the forgiveness that I want to find in my heart. So that’s what I mean when I say: the journey is long and the road is not straight. I just try to have compassion, empathy and understanding — for other people, and for myself. I try; sometimes I fail. I ain’t Jesus. I’m only human.”

“Self-love and self-respect power us to make good decisions for ourselves, but if that gets replaced by self-loathing then everything goes dark and our purpose gets lost in that darkness.”
