I’ve learned that a storm isn’t always just bad weather, and a fire can be the start of something. I’ve found out that there are a lot more shades of gray in this world than I ever knew about. I’ve learned that sometimes, when you´re afraid but you keep on moving forward, that’s the biggest kind of courage there is. And finally, I’ve learned that life isn’t really about failure and success. It’s about being present, in the moment when big things happen, when everything changes, including myself.

We think of happiness as something we can take. But usually it comes from being content with what we have, and accepting ourselves.

Have you ever been to a place you're supposed to love, but all you can think about is home?

So often we only do what we think is expected of us, when we are capable of so much more.

There's nothing more inspiring than the complexity and beauty of the human heart.

I feel like Cinderella sitting in the middle of the road with a pumpkin and a couple of mice, while Prince Charming charges off to rescue some other chick.

Time passes. That's the rule. No matter what happens, no matter how much it might feel like everything in your life has been frozen around one particular moment, time marches on.
