I was very fond of you, but now I’m so, so tired. I’m not happy to go, but one needn’t be happy to make another start.

“Because you are human beings you are going to meet failure. You are going to meet disappointment, injustice, betrayal, and irreparable loss. You will find you’re weak where you thought yourself strong. You’ll work for possessions and then find they possess you. You will find yourself — as I know you already have — in dark places, alone, and afraid.”

You will be ‘too much’ for some people. Too loud, too soft. Too this, too that. But you’ll always be perfect for the peeple who need you.

Believe me when I tell you that everything is temporary. Everything. There’s not a thing in the world that will not change, including you.

“Nobody’s going to save you. No-one’s going to cut you down, cut the thorns thick around you. No one’s going to storm the castle walls nor kiss awake your birth, climb down your hair, nor mount you onto the white steed. There is no one who will feed the yearning. Face it. You will have to do, do it yourself.”

Be a good person, but don’t waste time proving it.
