Human beings are not categorically bad because of their mistakes. They can learn from their errors and get back on track. No one should be forever written off because of one part of his or her history.
Life does that to us. Deep down, we know what may come to pass, but we hope that what we dread can be permanently put off. We convince ourselves it may never occur, because if it were going to, it would've already. Then without warning, reality socks us in the face and we realize how foolish it was to believe we'd been spared. And however many years we spent agonizing about what tragedy may come, the sting is no less severe when it does.
The day you finally start dealing with your past is the day you stop dragging into the present.
Our passions don't just compel us, they can also heal us.
Any cause worth taking up requires courage. And you can't wait until you're feeling bold to act; if we did, most of us would never move a toe. You have a step out in spite of the fact that you feel like the world's biggest scaredy-cat. And I often do.
We don't do all of our growing up between birth and adolescence or even our twenties. If we're fortunate, we never stop.
