I think there were times when I was so afraid of losing you that I forgot I even had you at all.

You know all that sympathy that you feel for an abused child who suffers without a good mom or dad to love and care for them? Well, they don't stay children forever. No one magically becomes an adult the day they turn eighteen. Some people grow up sooner, many grow up later. Some never really do. But just remember that some people in this world are older versions of those same kids we cry for.

Sooner or later in life, we will all take our own turn being in the position we once had someone else in.

Even if you think you're doing well and have it all figured out, there is a voice you will always inevitably hear at some point which nags at you and says "but wait..." Don't ever dismiss it, listen to what it has to say. Life will never be close enough to perfect, and listening to that voice means stepping outside of yourself and considering your own wrongdoings and flaws.

The world is not ready for some people when they show up, but that shouldn't stop anyone.

You cannot force things apart that are bound at the heart.

How good something is should never be determined by its cost, designer, origin, or its perceived value by others.
