“We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.
Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness.”

“Fear. The nature of evil is fear."..
"Everyone feels fear, though. Not everyone-...It doesn't seem to matter whether a person has money or an education or social status or anything. The world just seems to break some people...so fear..plus fragility.”

“All adults have days when we feel completely drained. When we no longer know quite what we spend so much time fighting for, when reality and everyday worries overwhelm us and we wonder how much longer we’re going to be able to carry on.
