Mankind is connected in ways it does not understand - even in dreams.

But our eyes are different, what you see ain't what I see.

When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.

But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.

No story sits by itself, Sometimes stories meet at corners and sometimes they cover one another completely, like stones beneath a river.

She loved me coming and going, at my worst and at my best. She had a bottomless well of love for me.

Happiness in a tablet. This is our world. Prozac. Daxil. Xanax. Billions are spent to advertise such drugs. And billions are spent purchasing them. You don't even need a specific trauma, just 'general depression' is enough, or anxiety, as if sadness is as treatable as the common cold.
