It is a privilege to grow old with someone.

If life can remove people you never dreamt of losing, it can replace them with someone you never dreamt of having.

“Forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn’t know before you learned it.”

“If you lose someone, but find yourself, you won.”

“Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes. Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You’re doing just fine.”

“You never realize the holes a person leaves behind until you fall into them.”

“I believe in the person I want to become.”

“I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying ‘I will try again tomorrow’.”

“I fell in love the way you fall asleep: Slowly, and then all at once.”

“Never apologize for burning too brightly or collapsing into yourself every night. That is how galaxies are made.”

“It’s okay to love something a little too much, as long as it’s real to you.”

“Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask yourself if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.”

“We do not remember days. We remember moments.”
