The Curious Heart of Ailsa Rae Quotes

“There's no such thing as ordinary, just like there's not really a normal.And there's no such thing as special, either. Or rather, we bring our own special. We make it. We make it when we dare and we make it when we ask for help. We make our lives special when we choose to forgive and move on, and not to make ourselves the centre of everything. We make specialness by trusting to the music and the dance.”
