“I love you not because of who you are, but because of who l can be in front of you.”

“I'm not choosing you because our being together makes sound, solid sense. I choose you because you make me forget there's a choice.”

“Maybe you're not healing because you're trying to be who you were before the trauma. That person doesn't exist anymore, cause there's a new you trying to be born. Breathe life into that person.”

“You cannot heal your way to a world where negativity doesn't exist, because it always will. You cannot heal your way into the most physically perfect version of yourself, because that's not who you were born and built to be. You cannot heal your way out of every worry, issue, struggle, grief, sadness, or down day, because that's not the point of being alive. The point of healing is not to return to a place where everything is perfect, it is to develop the ability to respond to what's imperfect. You cannot heal your way out of being human, and you were never supposed to.”

“You love that which you can lose.”

“I'm telling you this because you don't get it. You think you get it, which is not the same as actually getting it. Get it?”

“Never forget who you are, the rest of the world will not, wear it like armor andit can never be used to hurt you. - Tyrion Lannister”

“The world will ask you who you are, and if you do not know, the world will tell you.”

“Don't give up on God because God will not give up on you!”

“Maybe what you need is someone to talk to. Someone who'll make you feel understood even if they really don't understand you. Someone who's willing to listen. Who's willing to just be there for you even if they have nothing meaningful to say. Maybe that's what you really need. A friend. Someone who's not there to fix you but willing to cheer and support you… while you figure things out and heal on your own.”
