Kindle Notes & Highlights
The law is one size fits all, while reality is a series of chaotic events we raft through like white water. The difference is some people get handed life jackets while others are told they should’ve learned how to swim better.
Someone once said we don’t have a justice system, we have a legal system. I think about that. I think about that a lot.
People aren’t always ruled by their pasts, but they never really escape them either.
Bitter truth is that pill we can’t get ourselves to swallow. It’s the medicine we get force-fed by the ones who love us. And even when we know it’s good for us, we spit it out the moment they’re not looking.
We’re told a life without pain is ideal. To avoid suffering as much as possible. But pain is where you grow. We cry with our first breaths because it hurts to expel amniotic fluid and take in air. No transition occurs without pain.
“Sometimes good things don’t need to be understood.”
Everyone has something to fight for. But not everyone has someone to fight for them.
