“I believe purpose is something for which one is responsible; it’s not just divinely assigned.”

“People will show you who they are, but we ignore it because we want them to be who we want them to be.”

“I used to dislike being sensitive. I thought it made me weak. But take away that single trait, and you take away the very essence of who I am. You take away my conscience, my ability to empathize, my intuition, my creativity, my deep appreciation for the little things, my vivid inner life, my deep awareness of others’ pain, and my passion for it all.”
