"Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live"
"Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything, creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle, and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it's still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild. Because after disaster strikes, the important thing is that you move on. But if you're like me, you just keep chasing the storm." ~Veronica Mars
"This is the thing about life I've never really understood until now: we try so hard to control it, but bad things happen anyway. The only real control is an anti-control, a letting go." ~R.A. Nelson
"Don't wait around for your life to happen to you. Find something that makes you happy, and do it. Because everything else is all just background noise."
"Sometimes the littlest thing in life changes something forever and there will be times when you wish you can go back to how things used to be but you just can't because things have changed so much."
"I guess I feel different. Like I've always had this tendency to assume that change, when it happens, can only be for the worse. You know? And lately, I kinda feel like that's not true like whatever's waiting for me out there may not be that bad. And even if it is then not knowing about it might actually be the good part."
"This is your life. Right now. It doesn't wait for you to get back on your feet"
~A Lot Like
"I have accepted fear as a part of my life - specifically the fear of change. I have gone ahead despite the pounding in my heart that says: turn back" ~Erica Jong
