Her heart was the best part, it would always calm the storm for those who were afraid of a little rain.

Time does not heal all wounds… not when it comes to you and me. With us – time is the dagger and distance is the wound… The more time that goes by, the more distance there is between us and the deeper I am hurt. Time cannot help me – time is the enemy. Time takes our memories away and with every passing moment it encourages you to move forward without me. Time left me behind. It abandoned me… it moved on without me like you did… So no, time doesn’t heal all wounds… In fact, sometimes it cuts you deeper…

If there is one positive thing I can say about the life I’ve had, it’s that it made me a better person. As much as I wish I’d had the happy carefree life everyone else seems to have had, I have to admit that it’s made me who I am – for the better, not just the worse. Every time I’ve been knocked down I’ve gotten back up and it’s a strength I gained from never having anyone to help me. So now when I see someone else who’s down and out, I offer them a compassionate hand because I know how it feels and I believe that in their darkest moments nobody should ever be alone. Empathy is a gift and I share it with others, but it’s a gift that comes with a terrible price that only those who possess it know… Because to empathize with someone’s pain, you need to have experienced it yourself and that is the hidden price that compassionate people have paid to be who they are. So as much as I wouldn’t want to go back and relive them all again, I wouldn’t undo my life’s painful experiences either because I know that ultimately I wouldn’t be the same person without them.

Like the lotus flower that is born out of mud, we must honor the darkest parts of ourselves and the most painful of our life’s experiences, because they are what allow us to birth our most beautiful self.

A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires.

My sister told me a soul mate is not the person who makes you the happiest but the one who makes you feel the most, who conducts your heart to bang the loudest, who can drag you giggling with forgiveness from the cellar they locked you in. It has always been you.

Hard times teach us the most valuable lessons.

If the full moon loves you, why worry about the stars?

Sometimes the sun shines and it still rains. The weather changes all the time. You can too.
