“Real life is where the truth in our stories should count the most.”

“When everything else is normal, you notice the thing that isn’t.”

“Sometimes you have to let go to get what you want.”

…you can never tell where your own story will lead.

Our greatest fears can indeed come to life. And when we face them, they’re scary—but sometimes in a completely different way than we expected.

“…knowledge of truth is only a shape in the mind…”

Existence is a miracle that we have failed to deserve.

I refuse to be trapped in the margins.

I refused to be trapped in the margins.

The world tells me I’m not useful unless I’m producing.

There’s always a light…and that light, even if it’s scary, can lead us home…if we trust it.

“I’m impatient with being patient.”

It's easier, sometimes, to be brave when you're being brave for someone else.

"You can't pull the beauty out from the tragedy."

“The inability of one generation to cope just needlessly piles onto the next until everyone’s backs are broken.”

“The inability of one generation to cope just needlessly poles onto the next until everyone’s backs are broken.”
