“People worry so much. Just enjoy your body. That you can love. And you're alive.”

“People worried too much about their children. Suffering when you're young is good for you. It immunized your body and soul...”

“The only way you can rise above your troubles is too force your mind...to stay in the present moment. The pass will haunt you & the future may worry you but right now at this very moment, you're alive...so anything is possible!”

“Remember this, - where there is life there is hope. You're alive. Embrace this, because YOU CAN DO ANYTHING while there is breath in your body.”

“Mom always said people worried too much about their children. Suffering when you are young is good for you, she said. It immunized your body and your soul.”

“My god! people say. You have so much self-control! And later: My god. You're so, so sick. When people say this, they turn their heads, you've won your little game. You have proven your thesis that no-body-loves-me-every-body-hates-me, guess-I'll-just-eat-worms. You get to sink back into your hospital bed, shrieking with righteous indignation. See? you get to say. I knew you'd give up on me. I knew you'd leave.”
