“In your life, the people become like a patchwork quilt. Some leave with you a piece that is bigger than you wanted and others smaller than you thought you needed. Some are that annoying itchy square in the corner, and others that piece of worn flannel. You leave pieces with some and they leave their pieces with you.

For life is too short to expect from people what they do not have to give, or were not called to give you.”

Shadow and light are part of your nature.

Your daily deeds, though small, are never done,
In every breath, your true, victorious self is shown.
At times unseen in day’s bright, blinding light,
You shine with fierce resolve past night’s embrace,
Is this a humble life – in silence’s might?
Perhaps. Though, maybe, you calmly shape the world, and time, and space.”

These mistakes will cause you to lose things. But, losing things doesn't just mean losing. A lot of the time, when we lose things, we gain things too.
Life can be heavy, especially if you try to carry it all at once. Part of growing up and moving into new chapters of your life is about catch and release; you can't carry all things, decide what is yours to hold and let the rest go.
