“I am only one, but still I am one.I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.”

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People come into our lives for a reason; nothing is a coincidence,” Helen finally said, after she’d listened to Stella get everything off her chest. “I know you don’t want to get hurt, darling, but sometimes we have to take risks and explore the possibilities presented in front of us. Remember that film with Jim Carey, ‘Yes man’?”
“Yeah?”
“Try and be more like him. Say ‘yes’ to things you wouldn’t usually agree to.”
“You know, that’s terrible advice coming from a mother to her daughter!”
Helen laughed. “Probably. But I know what kind of a daughter I’ve raised. And I trust you.”
