The world isn’t safe. We already know that.
Hope is a thing with claws.
There are things we carry that weigh us down, but there are also those that lift us up.
Sometimes you have to leave everything behind to find what you really need.
Fear can be louder than a scream.
We are all searching for a place where we belong.
The heart doesn’t forget what it feels.
It’s the things we don’t say that haunt us the most.
Dreams are the threads that weave our futures.
Courage isn’t the absence of fear; it’s acting despite it.
Every step forward is a step towards something better.
Our stories are what make us who we are.
