The past is an inescapable prison.
Home is knowing that you are loved and accepted, no matter where you are.
Sometimes the best way to find out who you are is to get to that place where you don't have to be anything else.
We carry our past with us, and we carry it differently as time goes on.
Memories are like water. No matter how tightly you cup your hands, they always slip away.
Sometimes the best way to stay sane is to go a little crazy.
We are the sum of our actions, not our circumstances.
To find the extraordinary, you have to be willing to look beyond the ordinary.
In every goodbye, there's a seed of hello.
Sometimes the things that don't make sense lead us to the things that do.
The only way to escape the past is to confront it.
There is power in embracing your differences.
