“There are some things you can't understand yet. Your life will be a great and continuous unfolding. It's good you've worked hard to resolve childhood issues while in your twenties, but understand that what you resolve will need to be resolved again. And again.

“You're looking for the explanation, the loophole, the bright twist in the dark tale that reserves your story's course.

You do that by simply looking at what pains you squarely in the face and then moving on. You don't have to move fast or far. You can go just an inch. You can mark your progress breath by breath.”
― Cheryl Strayed, Brave Enough

“You don't have a right to the cards you believe you should have been dealt.

You have an obligation to play the hell out of the ones you're holding.”
