No part of your experience is wasted. Everything you've experienced so far is part of what you were meant to learn.

Heading towards that inner home will take you places-both inside yourself and in the external world-which your heart will recognize as its native environment, even though you have never been there before.

If you'd rather live surrounded by pristine objects than by the traces of happy memories, stay focused on tangible things. Otherwise, stop fixating on stuff you can touch and start caring about stuff that touches you.

Breathe in, breathe out, no fear, no doubt.

Loneliness is proof that your innate search for connection is intact.

The power to bring me out of solitude - or to push me back into it - had never belonged to another person. It was mine and only mine.

If you want to end your isolation, you must be honest about what you want at a core level and decide to go after it.
