“Sometimes we can take offense so easily. On other occasions we are too stubborn to accept a sincere apology. Who will subordinate ego, pride, and hurt-then step forward with 'I am truly sorry!

In an age where we desperately try to avoid these things around every corner we must gather together and sometimes endure them. Sure. You can avoid social media & the news but if you turn on the blinders then you also become a part of the problem, and not a part of the mourning, the apathy. And not a part of the solution. As it is we have busy lives, families & our own problems. But sometimes as human beings we are allowed to grieve, come together and heal. It's when we become so oblivious to things that we must sit back and reflect on what we've become, or possibly even what we are becoming.”

Fear cannot capture us, criticism cannot harm us, and pride cannot make us fall.”

“Sometimes we don't even know what we seek anymore. Life halts for a second, and we see a shadow of dreams, some lived, some unlived. So many stories, so many voices and yet each stands distinct for each took a part of your heart, each made a part of your soul. A list of songs, and a whole lot of unkempt moments, a handful of tears and a whole sky of smiles, so much walked and yet such a long path remains, only the steps aren't the same anymore. Words and silence play within and without as nothing seems real in a world that is made of moments, yet the memories bind a reality that shines vividly through a hole of illusions, an illusion of happiness, an illusion of despair, an illusion of love, an illusion of loss. Someday, perhaps in a distant dream, in a known star, there would be a home, where the void of nothingness will forever merge with the wholeness of moments. Someday, in the stillness of a wild heart, we would hold each other in the sky of that dream, that which isn't sought yet found. Because sometimes, we don't even know what we seek anymore.”

All I can do is love myself and my kids enough to move forward. Love my people where they is and fight like hell not to let nobody else mistakes—nobody else pain—break me ever again.”
