Tara Strum

“[...] just remember, the storm doesn't last forever. It can scare you; it can shake you to your core. But it never lasts. The rain subsides, the thunder dies, and the winds calm to a soft whisper. And that moment after the storm clouds pass, when all is silent and still, you find peace. Quiet, gentle peace.”
― S.L. Jennings, Fear of Falling

“The world is little, people are little, human life is little. There is only one big thing — desire.”

“Look at everything always as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time: Thus is your time on earth filled with glory.”
