Family is not always the people with whom you share DNA. Sometimes, family is the person who fights the hardest for your happiness.

It's not our mistakes that define us. It's the lessons we learn that show our true character.

There's a little blackness inside all of us.

Life has shown me all too often that there is no rhyme or reason to the cruelty inflicted upon humanity.

The relentless pull of love is a thousand times harder to fight than the tides. If you’re lucky, you’ll make it out before you drown. If you’re even luckier, you’re pulled under just long enough to wash away the sorrow. If you’re really lucky, like me, you resurface just in time to find the one you love floating right beside you.

The world can fall to pieces around us, but in the end, we'll always make it back to us.

Once you see the good in someone, it's hard not to notice the good in everyone.
