It makes us hold on to the belief that, at any moment, we could meet someone who changes our life and existence completely. It makes us see the best in our enemies. It makes us hold our friends closer. It gives us compassion and empathy. But most of all, it gives us hope that no matter what, everything is going to be okay.”

How many once-in-a-lifetime horrors we’ve experienced to the point where it doesn’t even faze us anymore?

The way I see it—they’re goddamn lifesavers for some.”
