“I always wanted magic to be real, and now I know that this world is much stranger and more miraculous than it appears. But I believe, more than I believe anything else, that the true miracle and beauty in life comes from living it. I hope you will come to agree with me. I know you're struggling this year, and I wish I could help you more. I wish I could be with you to help figure it all out. But I'll tell you the secret: no one has it figured out. The joy comes from figuring it out. One day at a time. Live your life, all of it, full of magic and miracles and beauty and pain and sorrow. You'll be glad you did. I am.”
