How nobody is perfect. How you just have to close your eyes and breathe out and let the puzzle of the human heart be what it is.

“Anger is exhausting. Holding on to it will drain the life out of you.”
Amanda Peters, The Berry Pickers

“I’ve realized that we don’t get extra points in life for pretending we are “good” when we truly aren’t. There’s no prize for a faking strength or acting like you can handle what you know you can’t.”
Becky Qualtieri, The Real Glow-Up: Heaven's Guide to Lasting Transformation

“Your thoughts are not just thoughts; their seeds of your beliefs, emotions, and actions.”
Becky Qualtieri, The Real Glow-Up: Heaven's Guide to Lasting Transformation

Amanda    Peters
“MARRIAGE IS A FUNNY THING. THERE ARE SO MANY people in the world, and you decide to commit the rest of your life, the rest of your emotional energy, to just one. You assume that the mysterious connection that ties you to one another will hold. A connection that can’t be trusted, one that probably manifests in that same mystical space where stories come from. A place that allows you to suspend your disbelief. Marriage assumes that you will bend and twist and adjust to one another. It assumes that your desires will forever be interconnected by the placement of a piece of gold around a finger. For many people this is true. I envy those people who can dig deep and find that thing that originally allowed them to believe they could spend their entire lives sleeping in the same bed, sit across the table from one another day in and day out, make a family, make memories, good and bad.”
Amanda Peters, The Berry Pickers

Elizabeth Strout
“It interests me how we find ways to feel superior to another person, another group of people. It happens everywhere, and all the time. Whatever we call it, I think it’s the lowest part of who we are, this need to find someone else to put down.”
Elizabeth Strout, My Name Is Lucy Barton
