“Here's to the bridge-builders, the hand-holders, the light-bringers, those extraordinary souls wrapped in ordinary lives who quietly weave threads of humanity into an inhumane world.

They are the unsung heroes in a world at war with itself. They are the whisperers of hope that peace is possible. Look for them in this present darkness.

Light your candle with their flame. And then go. Build bridges. Hold hands. Bring light to a dark and desperate world. Be the hero you are looking for. Peace is possible. It begins with us.”

If I’ve learned anything from life,
it’s that sometimes,
the darkest times can bring us
to the brightest places.
I’ve learned that the most
toxic people can teach us
the most important lessons;
that our most painful struggles
can grant us the most necessary growth; and that the most
heart-breaking losses of friendship
and love can make room for the
most wonderful people.
I’ve learned that what seems
like a curse in the moment
can actually be a blessing,
and that what seems like the
end of the road is actually just
the discovery that we are meant
to travel down a different path.
I’ve learned that no matter
how difficult things seem,
there is always hope.
And I’ve learned that no matter
how powerless we feel or
how horrible things seem,
we can’t give up.
We have to keep going.
Even when it’s scary,
even when all of our strength
seems gone,
we have to keep picking ourselves
back up and moving forward,
because whatever we’re battling
in the moment, it will pass,
and we will make it through.
We’ve made it this far.
We can make it through
whatever comes next.

I'm slowly learning that even if I react, it won't change anything, it won't make people suddenly love and respect me, it won't magically change their minds.

Sometimes it's better to just let things be, let people go, don't fight for closure, don't ask for explanations, don't chase answers and don't expect people to understand where you're coming from.

I'm slowly learning that life is better lived when you don't center it on what's happening around you and center it on what's happening inside you instead.

‘When life breaks you, it is because you are ready to be put back together differently.

Every piece of you that feels shattered is a piece that will find a new place, a new purpose, a new meaning.

Trust that the cracks are where the light gets in. And sometimes, in our brokenness, we find our greatest wholeness.

We find the courage to rebuild, to reimagine, to redefine what it means to be strong.

You are not broken; you are breaking through.’
