“Frustration and Love can’t exist in the same place at the same time, so get real and start doing what you would rather be doing in life. Love your life. All of it. Even the heavy shit that happened to you when you were 8. All of it was and IS perfect.”

“My past has not defined me, destroyed me, deterred me, or defeated me; it has only strengthened me.”

“We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place, we stay there, even though we go away. And there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there.”

“You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”

“You’re just another story I can’t tell anymore.”

“You realize that our mistrust of the future makes it hard to give up the past.”

“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”
