“In this world of interdependence, opposite emotions are also connected. As William Blake put it "joy and woe are woven fine". I know this because one of the reasons I love life is because I was once suicidal. I have sincerely known moments of content in my life for having gone through years of hell.”
― Matt Haig, The Comfort Book

“Introversion is not something you fix via extroversion. You fix it by seeing it as something not to be fixed. So let introversion exist. Allow those journeys inward as well as outward.”

“I now avoid trying to see myself as one thing or the other. I'm not a happy person or a sad person. I am not a calm person or a fearful person. I am a happy, sad, calm, fearful person. I let myself feel it all. And that way I am always open to new feelings.”
― Matt Haig, The Comfort Book

“But Jesus has this odd habit of allowing ordinary, screwed-up people to introduce him, and so it was ordinary, screwed-up people who first told me I was a beloved child of God, who first called me a Christian.”
― Rachel Held Evans, Searching for Sunday: Loving, Leaving, and Finding the Church
