“Well I am, now. But I wasn't always so ready to call it my home--when one feels displaced, it can take a while for the connections to grow. Once I was ready, it felt like I was part of a new song that I had somehow always known.”
― Kay O'Neill, The Tea Dragon Tapestry

“My dear, that is something you cannot control. When someone is grieving, the best thing you can do is let them heal on their own, and show them that you'll be there for them. I know it's hard, because you are a kind girl and want to help everyone. But sad people aren't objects to fix. Give them space and show them you'll still love them whenever they are ready to be loved.”
― Kay O'Neill

“Our capacity for love increases with each person we cross paths with throughout our lives, and with each moment we spend with those people. But, too often we neglect that part of ourselves in favor of others. And by the time we realize just how important it is, we find ourselves with fewer folks around to practice with.”
― Griffin McElroy

“You feel like you've lost your path. It's natural to be sad. It's alright to let those feelings wash over you, and give them time to soak into the earth. That's when things start to grow again.”
