That's what just hit me: How you really can't have everything. You have to give up the old to get the new. You can't be the child and the mom at the same time. You can't be your young self and your old self at the same time. You can't know what you know now and feel the way you did then. You can't, you can't, you can't.

What matters most is how you respond to your heartbreaks and your disappointments and your fears. What matters most is who you become in response to them.

My goal is to try to be as happy as I can - going through every day just as it is.

Be brave with your life, so others will be brave with theirs.

Look for beauty in everything.

Our lives disappear, even as we live them.

You are writing the story of your only life every single minute of every day.
