All that remains in the present are the voice, the presence, and the importance of fulfilling my mission.

Some of these are actual answers to my questions, some I live by, and some I hope to follow

  • "If we wait until we’re ready, we’ll be waiting for the rest of our lives."
    • Lemony Snicket
  • "Every man's ability may be strengthened or increased by culture."
    • John Abbott

    • Leo Buscaglia

  • “And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter— they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long." Sylvia Plath
