No, no, it's not all random, if it really was all random, the universe would abandon us completely. and the universe doesn't. it takes care of its most fragile creations in ways we can't see. like with parents who adore you blindly. and a big sister who feels guilty for being human over you. and a little gravelly-voiced kid whose friends have left him over you. and even a pink-haired girl who carries your picture in her wallet. maybe it is a lottery, but the universe makes it all even out in the end. the universe takes care of all its birds.

Here’s what I think: the only reason I’m not ordinary is that no one else sees me that way.

Kinder than is necessary. Because it's not enough to be kind. One should be kinder than needed.

My mom smiled at me. Her smile kind of hugged me.

I think there should be a rule that everyone in the world should get a standing ovation at least once in their lives.

Courage. Kindness. Friendship. Character. These are the qualities that define us as human beings, and propel us, on occasion, to greatness.

Just follow the day and reach for the sun!
