“When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”

“Don’t chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing, and love people. The right people - the ones who really belong in your life - will come to you, and stay.”

“The funny thing is, just because a flower grows faster than the others doesn’t mean that it will be the biggest in the end. It might look like it’s going to be the best flower because it’s blossoming and so tall compared to the others around it. But that doesn’t mean that one of the other flowers won’t grow taller and blossom. Basically is what I’m trying to say is that just because you got a late start or you seem to be behind everyone else, doesn’t mean you don’t stand a chance against them.”

Become more in tune with yourself. Your true self. The self beneath the name, the clothes, and the personality. The self that radiates your essence. That thrives within the silent mind. That sees beyond all physical barriers and labels of the world. Once you find this self of yours, there is no more need to search, but instead moments of endless blissful discovery.

“I hope there are days when your coffee tastes like magic, your playlist makes you dance, strangers make you smile, and the night sky touches your soul. I hope there are days when you fall in love with being alive.”
