“Imagine for a one moment that you're in the future. Your future. These are your last moments before death.......Now, imagine I give you a final gift. You're allowed to go back. Just for twenty minutes, you're allowed to go back to the exact moment where you're reading these words. This is your twenty-minute gift. Do not waste it. You can't change your life in twenty minutes, so don't try. No-do the thing that you'll wish, on your deathbed, you could have done one last time. Something precious.”
― Ben Reeves, Everything was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt

“This was the version of her who had survived and there was no sense in apologizing for being a survivor.”

“I know I have a lot more inner work to do. I thought I had to convince the whole world that I am more than the worst thing I have done, the worst person I have been, but really I just have to convince myself.”
