"Sometimes it is simplest tasks that carry the most weight. Sometimes the act of smiling requires every ounce of strength in your body. Sometimes...sometimes is an always, an everlasting hallway of despair. But there is an end and one day when you happen upon the door to the other side of life you'll see the key was always inside of you, not in spite of you. You possess a quality that no one can break or take away from you, let it be the glue that grounds you. A beauty that shines brighter than your plight and illuminates your life. A sight that brings tears to the world around you, filling it with courage as it waters the seed of love that grew from you"
"...The only antidote to perfectionism is to turn away from every whiff of plastic and gloss and follow our grief, pursue our imperfections, and exaggerate our eccentricities until the things we once sought to hide reveal themselves as our majesty.” ~Toko-pa Turner
