In failure, may we find dignity. In loss, may we find wisdom. In pain, may we find growth. May our souls rise. Ever rise.
Phil Tucker
to go where you love, and bring love where you go.
"Waking up in the morning, I remember: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and selfish - ignorant of good or evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer is not of the same blood or birth, but endowed with the same reason and share of the divine as I. And so none can hurt me with an attempt to implicate me in this ugliness."
(Marcus Aurelius, Meditations)
“It is better to find your courage to make changes when you can choose to rather than being forced to. If you do not make change, change will make you.”
— Roy T. Bennett
“The darker the night, the brighter the stars. The deeper the grief, the closer is God.”

"Aún no somos del todo superficial; creemos en lo etéreo, lo profundo y trascendental, aquello que no se ve, pero se siente."
First and last time. 😌
I didn't fall in love with you because I was lonely or lost, I fell in love with you because after getting to know you, I realized that I wanted to make you a permanent part of my world.
“No me gusta vivir de vanas esperanzas, ni de ingenuas ilusiones. Abrazar demasiado lo que aun no llega, es prepararse el terreno para recibir el golpe duro de la vida que tarde o temprano llega. Prefiero abrazar la realidad tal cual es, aunque me parta el alma, aunque me reviente las entrañas, porque al fin y a cabo la verdad libera… y liberarse duele.”
