• The lights will inspire you

  

  That’s the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself another drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  Behind every beautiful thing, there is some kind of pain.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  I think you’re one of those people who everyone falls in love with, even for a tiny bit.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  It’s actually pretty amazing when you love life. It’s something you look forward to and suddenly who you are and who your friends are doesn’t really matter. It’s what you do that makes the time special.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  It’s a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  What intrigued me more than anything else was finding out the way in which everything, all of creation, all of it, was held together by invisible chemical bonds, and I found a strange, inexplicable comfort in knowing that somewhere, even though we couldn’t see it in our own world, there was a real stability.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  Your mother didn’t go through thirty hours of labor to see you be a clone of someone else, they have technology for that. She kept you captive in her womb, so when that when you were released, you’d be ready for the world and ready to stand your own ground.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  When you’re at the top, remember what if felt like at the bottom. When you’re at the bottom, remember what it felt like at the top.  Good doesn’t last forever. Neither does bad.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  There is beauty in endings, even if we don’t want to admit it at the time. Remember, we are always in awe of the beauty of a sunset, as it takesaway the light of the day we knew. We know the sun will rise again, we know the stars will guide us through the darkness of the night. Life isn’t much different than the scenes it plays before our eyes. Things will get brighter again.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  God wants you to be happy, and He wouldn’t want you to be with someone who couldn’t make you feel that way.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  When you’re struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it’s just as hard as what you’re going through.
