“A Mirage
It glitters.
It is extraordinarily appealing.
Unbelievably beautiful.
It possesses all the ingredients of reality,
Except the reality itself.
It is falsehood.
A fleeting hope.
A passing phase.
A false pool of water
On a desert road,
On a sunny, dry day.
It's an aberration.
It's a mirage”

His true form will stand before him, stretched out forming the thickest, darkest truths he's ever seen.
I don't want to be there when I die. Death. Although it comes once, it lasts forever.”

“A mirror has always symbolized more than glass and reflection.
A mirror represents truth.
A mirror represents conscience.
It shows us what is actually there, not what we wish were there.
Sometimes the hardest thing a person can do is look honestly at themselves. Not the version they present to the world, but the quiet reflection that asks:
Who am I really?
What am I contributing to this world?
Where do I need to grow?
Avoiding the mirror isn’t about the glass.
It’s about avoiding the work of self-knowledge and accountability.
But the beautiful thing about reflection is that it gives us something powerful: the chance to change, grow, and become better than we were yesterday.
Sometimes the bravest thing a person can do…
is simply look in the mirror.”

“A misbegotten hatchling of consciousness, a birth defect of our species, imagination is often revered as a sign of vigor in our make-up.

“A miscarriage is a natural and common event. All told, probably more women have lost a child from this world than haven't.

But ask her sometime: how old would your child be now? And she'll know.”
