“There are people who are so kind to you that you can’t help but wonder how they manage to carry so much light within themselves. Do they carry sunflowers in place of a heart? Have they soaked in all the light in the world and are now pouring it into every heart they touch? A few moments with them, and your heart feels lighter. A few more moments with them, and you crave a lifetime. Their kindness makes them more desirable than anyone you’ve ever met.”

“Let’s build a relationship where we don’t break each other’s hearts during fights.
Where arguments are always less important than the love we have for each other. Where none of us wait for the other person to resolve a fight. Where the competition isn’t about who wins the argument but who sorts it out first.
Where our kids don’t grow up hearing us fight at the top of our lungs.
Where our home doesn’t smell like violence but love. Let’s build a relationship where our kids are fluent in the language of love and averse to aggression. A home made of people whose love for one another is a flower unbothered by storms and forest fires.”

“My baba says the only society worth living in is one where everyone has access to food, shelter, clean water, and health services.”

“But you know what the bravest thing of all is? The most extraordinary thing? To live by your own standards and no one else's. To be happy by your own measure.”
