“It is the things we most want to put down, the things that are hardest to carry, to endure, that give our lives the most meaning. Sometimes our burdens are taken from us. And sometimes we walk away from them. Sometimes, not having that burden might even feel good. We might feel relief. But it doesn’t take long to realize that the things we call burdens are most often ballast. Our burdens give weight to everything we do. They shed light on all that we are. And the moment we lose them . . . we lose everything.”
― Amy Harmon, The Unknown Beloved

“The truth is, the harder we are, the easier we shatter. It takes some softness to absorb life’s blows.”
― Amy Harmon, The Unknown Beloved
