The past doesn't matter. People cling to it because it allows them to ignore the present.
heart accepting accepting-the-truth
...if you can accept the truth and live with it your heart will be at peace.
people way found
We did what our people do all the time, we told ourselves something we did was right and we found a way to justify it, even though we knew it was wrong.
pain feelings share
There are never words for the strongest of our feelings. There is just the pain that we cannot share. Pain we must all feel alone.
pain shock worst
There is, though, nothing that prepares us for the worst things in our life. There is nothing you can do to stop the shock, or buffer the pain.
pain believe heart
I say to myself if you believe deeply in your heart you must defy, and if you are willing to pay for your defiance, you must always do it, even though the pain may be much. Too many times in our lives we do not do it, and we pay even more...
way speak sometimes
For the worst things of our lives, it is sometimes the best way, to never speak of them again.
trauma stills allowing
Trauma is survivable, but often not much more. It kills you while allowing you to still live.
dream sadness people
My life has been like all the lives, long and hard and full of sadness and confusion and horror, a frightening, difficult dream punctuated by brief moments of joy. And as is the case with all people's lives, the moments of joy are never often enough and never long enough.

In life we often look to others for simple, but difficult answers, despite the fact that we have those answers ourselves.
believe thinking knowing
But that's part of faith. Believing and knowing despite what other people say, and despite what the world might think of your beliefs.
children heart broken
For the most profound experiences in our lives and in the world words are worth nothing. Can you describe love Or death Can you describe what it really feels like the first time you see your child Or the first time your heart gets broken You can try...but it won't come close to describing what it really was or what it really felt like.
fool excuse
Faith is the fool's excuse.
dream giving miracle
A miracle is changing someone's life. Freeing them from whatever bonds them. Giving them the gift of being able to live the way they dream of living.
