“It's interesting to note that the most kind and courageous souls you meet in life tend to be those who've faced the most cruelty and conflict. This vicious world might sharpen us like a blade, but whether we use that power to protect people or cause them pain is always our choice.”

“The difference between an ordinary life and an extraordinary life is only a matter of perspective. Pull the blinds. Look around you. It is a mad, mad world and you do not require ten digit bank accounts to immerse yourself in it. Travel down dusty roads without a destination in mind. Climb a mountain and scream out into the void. Kiss the hell out of a stranger. Skinny dip in a lake. Get lost and lose yourself (they are two separate things). Explore the wilderness (especially the one within). Think less of destiny and more of the moment right here. Because when you are old and ill with your loved ones around you, fame won't matter, nor will the extent of your wealth. You are the sum of the stories you can tell.”

“I didn’t force you to be with me. I opened my heart, I gave my time, I trusted you when no one was even ready to listen to you, and you wasted it all, ruined it all. I stayed through your selfishness, I hoped through your lies, I forgave through your carelessness, and not once did you ever deserve any of it. The truth is, losing me isn’t your loss, it’s just life finally showing you what you were never worthy of because you are worthless.”
