That type of question is so harmful.

“What I want from the river is what I always want: / to be held by a stronger thing that, in the end, chooses mercy.”

“You must forgive those who hurt you, even if whatever they did to you is unforgivable in your mind. You will forgive them not because they deserve to be forgiven, but because you don’t want to suffer and hurt yourself every time you remember what they did to you. It doesn’t matter what others did to you, you are going to forgive them because you don’t want to feel sick all the time. Forgiveness is for your own mental healing. You will forgive because you feel compassion for yourself. Forgiveness is an act of self-love.”

“Sometimes to get your life back, you have to face the death of what you thought your life would look like.”

“Big things are built one brick at a time. Victories are achieved one choice at a time. A life well-lived is chosen one day at a time.”
