Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Be wild. Because life is lived in the moments you don’t see coming. Not in the comfort of predictability, but in the thrill of the unknown.”
“I don’t want somebody like me. I want somebody like you.”
“It’s easier to see, the older you get, the more seasons you endure. Everything is temporary, no matter how we try to fight it. But when we embrace the change, lean into it, the easier it is to endure. And the more fun it can be.”
“You can’t live your life on what-ifs. You just can’t. If I’d known I’d lose my legs, I don’t know how I would have been brave.

Don’t sacrifice your future just because you’re afraid. Sacrifice your fear for hope.”
