There are moments in life, and they happen so infrequently that they tend to really stand out, when life hands you the gift of perspective. Sometimes, we forget to show our appreciation. Sometimes, we get our priorities mixed up. And, sometimes, we forget how far we’ve come. But life always has a way of nudging you to remind you about these important things.

We feel the love of strangers every day in the things they do that affect us without our knowledge.

Sometimes you forget how much you love someone, until you realize their smile is like a spotlight shined on your heart.

If love is a drug, then it's the kind that should be prescribed.

There's a little blackness inside all of us.

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

Fear is crippling. Fear of the future can convince us that there is no way out and nothing is ever going to get better. Fear is blinding; it can make us miss the warning signs flashing right in front of our eyes. It can also make you miss those brilliant flashes of color, when the world isn't so gray. But, if you think about it, being afraid isn't such a bad thing. Because fear is a reminder that you still have something to lose. Something worth holding onto.
