“How naïve we are when we’re young. How easily we trust that the sun will keep rising and setting, warming our days. And what a terrible blow it is to discover it isn’t the sun that makes things bright, but the people who love us, so that when they’re gone, everything is plunged into darkness.”
― J.T. Geissinger, Pen Pal

“Every time we face our fears, we grow a little bit.”
― Ellen Meister, Divorce Towers

“Worrying is expensive. It costs you the one thing you can’t get back. Time.”
― Geneva Lee, Filthy Rich Fae

“On the darkest days you have to search for a spot of brightness, on the coldest days you have to seek out a spot of warmth; on the bleakest days you have to keep your eyes onward and upward and on the saddest days you have to leave them open to let them cry. To then let them dry. To give them a chance to wash out the pain in order to see fresh and clear once again.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Unravel Me
