Kindle Notes & Highlights
It’s why I love being a pain management therapist. What’s more rewarding than finding a way to soothe physical pain? There’s nothing more universally human than pain. And yet, identifying what causes it, then understanding how to address it: there’s nothing more individual than that. The search for sources of discomfort comes easily to me, of tracking the clues the mind and body hand us, of acknowledging the trauma that’s always at the root of pain.
The life you build, that’s what makes marriage last. When hard times come along, when temptations arise, that’s what will keep him from walking away. The investment in what you build together: a home, children, a family, a place in society. The fear of losing that is what tides a marriage through life’s storms. Not love.”
for centuries humans have tried to control the world by forcing everyone into matching molds by getting them to close their minds. It’s why the pressure of discontent has turned humanity into a ticking bomb. The only way to defuse it is to change one heart at a time. Every time a single person opens their heart, the magic gets stronger. And your heart is one of the most beautiful, most wide-open ones I’ve ever known, Mira. You’re filled with magic. All you have to do is let your fear go and believe.”
