“When you're a kid and a teen, you're not in control of your circumstances. But the beautiful thing about growing up is that you get to create your own reality and your own family. That family might be a group of tight-knit friends, that family might be a spouse and children of your own. But ultimately, your childhood realities do not have to perpetuate themselves into adulthood, not if you don't let them. It for sure takes work.”

“Home is a choice.”
― Victoria Schwab, Gallant

“It was morning, and the new sun sparkled gold across the ripples of a gentle sea.”
― Richard Bach, Jonathan Livingston Seagull
