“I need to stop fantasizing about running away to some other life and start figuring out the one I have.”

“I am learning to love the sound of my feet walking away from things not meant for me.”

“I used to dislike being sensitive. I thought it made me weak. But take away that single trait, and you take away the very essence of who I am. You take away my conscience, my ability to empathize, my intuition, my creativity, my deep appreciation for the little things, my vivid inner life, my deep awareness of others’ pain, and my passion for it all.”
