You always have a choice to make, even in the chaos.

It’s jarring to feel nothing when you’re used to feeling everything. It can feel like your whole world has gone off its axis. The world holds no more color—everything is gray.

You are a miracle. Yes, you.

You teach them how to see you the moment you walk into a room.

I hope you know that you can handle the darkness that feels like it’s swallowing you whole.

But here’s the deal – love, even the kind that breaks your heart, and crushes your soul, and leaves you yearning for a dreamless sleep, will teach you something.

Your mirror of truth can break all the lies.

We all want to be seen, to be heard, and to be loved.

It’s not enough to want a loving, tolerant, and more peaceful world. You must embody that want in everything that you do.

When love is balanced, you don’t keep score about who is giving and who is taking, for true love is about compromise.

Goals are a beautiful thing.

Being selective with how you spend your time and energy isn’t a fatal flaw — it just means that you’re paying close attention to life’s most precious gift.
