“Our mistakes don’t make or break us. If we are lucky, they simply reveal who we really are, what we’re made of. Challenges will come, but if you treat them simply as tests of who you are, you’ll come out of it not bitter and victimized, but smarter and stronger.”

But actually, love is… Well, it’s just you. And when you go, it’s gone. Nothing abstract about it.”
—Nick Hornby (Juliet, Naked)
“May you dream you are dreaming, in a warm soft bed
And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread
Make the sound of thousands of angels instead
Tonight where you might be laying your head” —Patty Griffin
