“Because times change. People change. ‘Life moves pretty fast. And if you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.’”

“The other thing I’ve learned, and I want you all to listen closely,” she continues, “is that life . . . is good. And wonderful. And horrible, and beautiful, and messy, and everything all at once. And that is the beauty of it. It’s overwhelming, but it’s never boring. And it should be lived to the fullest.
