but to be fearless in facing them.

Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but
for the heart to conquer it.”

They're connected to yours by some invisible physical force, and they hold you fast while the rest of the world swirls and twirls and falls completely away.”
― Wendelin Van Draanen, Flipped

“It is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to be simple.”
― Rabindranath Tagore

“The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four people is suffering from a mental illness. Look at your 3 best friends. If they're ok, then it's you.”
