“Home should be a safe haven. A refuge where love is expressed in both actions and words. When this is the case, heightened self-confidence, self-assurance, and self-worth are the outcomes. Love at home prepares individuals to attempt new things in the outside world, to chance missteps and failures, to learn from experiences that are not always gentle, knowing that love and acceptance await at home.”

“Did you see that?” she chirped. Her eyes glimmered with excitement. “A falling star! Did you make a wish?”
Ian dropped onto his back and looked up. “No—no wishes. I don’t believe in superstitions.”
She laughed. “But aliens you do believe in. You’re so weird.”
“What did you wish for?” he asked, ignoring the playful insult.
She grinned big. “I wished for all your wishes to come true.”
“Really? You wasted a wish on me?”
“Of course. You’re my best friend.” Her hand reached to squeeze his.
“But I thought if you told your wish it wouldn’t come true.”
“I thought you didn’t believe in superstitions.”

“To mature, to progress, to grow—these require becoming a better version of yourself while acknowledging that experience has made you wiser. Maturation means admitting that (given the chance to turn back time) you would do things in a healthier, calmer, more constructive way based on what you have learned. Progress is shown as you accept and own the mistakes that were made, especially those that resulted in unfortunate consequences for others. The real growth comes when you offer apologies, make amends, and vow never again to repeat those same mistakes.”

“My mind was caught up in an inexplicable mystery!
I had changed, and it bothered me. Not like a subtle adaptation one would deem a nuisance, but vitally enough to eat at my gut. Like a snake slithering out of its old, scaly skin, I had somehow shed my previous self—a person whom I feared was my better self. How had this happened? And so fast! So drastically!”

“You were born to author your own story. This includes editing the bad parts. Go back. Repent. Climb where you fell. Joy where you sorrowed. Mend what you tore. Heal where you harmed. Speak where you were silent. Sing and laugh and dance where life once snatched your pen and scribbled black, ugly marks in your book. Buy new ink and print beautiful poetry over all the ugly parts.”

“Where does our laughter travel to?
Does it search out monkeys in the zoo?
Or settle on the heart like dew?
Or cling to lip-glossed smiles on me and you?
Does it hang around throughout the day?
Or spread its wings and fly away?
Or gather-in like puffy clouds of gray?
Perhaps it hooks a rainbow’s end
And melts to make the colors blend.
Or paints a happy face upon a friend.
Does it turn to stardust when it’s late?
Or in a windstorm, circulate?
Or does it simply fade and dissipate?
What is our laughter’s merrymaking fate?”

“The experiences we endure as trials are what cultivate compassion in our hearts. We feel for others because we have suffered similarly.

“There are times I wish anxiety served no good purpose. That it could be surgically removed and discarded like an infected gallbladder, one that has tormented a body with constant bouts of pain. The agony is similar—so strenuously endured. What scalpel exists to carve out anxiety from both heart and mind? What prescription can subdue the inflammation? Is there a cure? Or is it somehow essential? A vital part of life that if lacking would cause us to eventually wither away. I see strength gained from it, lessons learned from it, and compassion sprout in its soil. But is there no other way? There are times I wish anxiety served no good purpose.”
