Sydney’s Quotes

“Turn to the light. Don't fear the shadow it creates.”
― Ted Dekker

345 likes

“It was such a blessing to find myself thriving in the middle of the pain. Unless you find a way to do that, there's always going to be this fake illusion that once you get there--wherever "there" is for you--you'll be happy. But that's just not life. If you can't find happiness in the ugliness, you're not going to find it in beauty, either.”
― Joanna Gaines, The Magnolia Story

“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”
