“You only have so much emotional energy each day - don’t fight battles that don’t matter.”

“Be authentic in the way you live life, talk to those who hurt you. Engage in honesty and love, open up and ask those in your life why they are distant. Life is short, it gets muddied by lies and fear. Be courageous enough to reach out to others, seek forgiveness and redemption in your community. We have been given an opportunity each day to love those around us, all it takes is one step. Healing starts with communication, communication comes with humility, and humility only comes when we are willing to lay down our lives for others. Love right now, not tomorrow or the next day, love in this moment and watch it become something beautiful.”

“You’re under no obligation to be the same person you were five minutes ago.”

“The later at night it gets, the further into another world you go.”

“Sometimes there’s beauty in the tough words — it’s all in how you read them.”

“Once you figure out what matters, you’ll figure out how to be brave.”

“We’re all scared most of the time. Life would be lifeless if we weren’t. Be scared, and then jump into that fear. Again and again. Just remember to hold on to yourself while you do it.”

“Your strength is soft, indirect, delicate, tender, womanly. But it is strength just the same.”
