“It isn't expectations that carry us forward, it's our desire to go on.”

“When I was growing up, people didn't tell me to slow down, to do less, to be calmer, or to practice being content.

In fact, people told me to do the opposite: be involved, challenge myself, stay busy, push through the pain, chase after my goals, swing for the fences, do more, make more, go all out.

But you wanna know something? When it comes to dealing with the hard stuff in life, it's the slowing down and remembering the basics that are most important. Also, all of those other words sound exhausting.”
― Chad Eastham, The Truth About Breaking Up, Making Up, and Moving On

“Beautiful things don't ask for attention.”
