"Some people are that kind of book-smart.. you know the kind who just know things and inherently get things really quickly. They’re quick and clever. They don’t have to work hard for it.
Natalie’s smart but she always *worked* for it. She always worked so hard to learn and get those good grades…"

— My mother on what she admired about me growing up. And what keeps coming to mind now as I race the clock for my paper deadline.

I am.

RESPONSIBLE for my own experience of life.

~~Blame~~ is a reaction I gave up.

Sometimes I wish I could do more to pull others out of it.

Breathing in stillness with love for them is difficult.. and always feels like I ought to be doing more.

My lesson then becomes l e t t i n g g o.

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

— Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

"The tears I feel today I’ll wait to shed tomorrow. Though I’ll not sleep this night Nor find surcease from sorrow. My eyes must keep their sight: I dare not be tear-blinded. I must be free to talk Not choked with grief, clear-minded. My mouth cannot betray The anguish that I know. Yes, I’ll keep my tears til later: But my grief will never go."
