"It's okay to be a work in progress because that means you're still growing.""In the end, we should all be grateful for the small moments that add up to a life well-lived.""Remember that sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life.""Give yourself the grace to not have it all figured out yet.""The world will whittle your heart down to a toothpick if you let it; the secret is not to let it.""Sometimes hope is something we have to cobble together from the pieces left behind.""Good bones can mean “setting things right”—remodeling, making the world better""You could live just a long time alone in your skin and change the locks on the door of your fears""Be ruthless about protecting your light""Sometimes joy is a radical act""On particularly rough days when I'm sure I can't possibly endure I like to remind myself that my track record for getting through bad days so far is 100% which is pretty good""Even grief has a little calendar so you don't have to remind it where it lives""Keep moving forward through it all""There's no steady way forward to the future we see so we swerve and sway end up someplace new""I’m not sure when you get to a peaceful place in life if that exists but I’m working toward it always""We don't lose the past; it lives in us""Let the world astonish you with its mercy""Keep moving even when it feels useless""The thing to hold onto is that the world also has people in it who find the brokenness and help""Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you"
