We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.

Travel far enough, you meet yourself.

The gift of learning to meditate is the greatest gift you can give yourself in this life. For it is only through meditation that you can undertake the journey to discover your true nature, and so find the stability and confidence you will need to live, and die, well. Meditation is the road to enlightenment…Quietly sitting, body still, speech silent, mind at peace, let your thoughts and emotions, whatever arises, come and go, without clinging to anything.

“I understand that nobody understands me, but I can’t be someone I’m not.”

“I was afraid to be alone, and now I’m scared that’s how I like to be.”

“And that’s what adulthood is: you wake from the nightmare and realize there’s no bigger bed to climb into.”

Anyone who takes the time to be kind is beautiful.

I’ve always been dark, with light somewhere in the distance.
