The most beautiful people we have known
are those who have known defeat, known suffering,
known struggle, known loss,
and have found their way out of the depths.
These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity,
and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion,
gentleness, and a deep loving concern.
Beautiful people do not just happen.

faith isn't an epidural,
it's a midwife who stands next to me, saying,
"Push. It's supposed to hurt."

_a happy life consists not int he absence, but in the mastery of hardships Helen Keller_
_if there are no ups and downs in your life, it means you are dead unknown_
moving on doesn't mean you forget about things,
it just means you have to accept what happened and keep living
~ Erza Scarlett
life is a journey to be experienced,
not a problem to be solved
