“He broke me down past the flesh, past the muscle, past the bone, down to my soul and in a loud provocation, he asked, “What are you made of?”After I gathered the broken bits and pieces of my life together, I shouted at the top of my lungs, “HOPE! Unbreakable, undeniable, irrevocable hope!”

“I know the past will drag you backward and down, have you snatching at whispers of wind and the gibberish of trees rubbing together, trying to decipher some code, trying to piece together what was broken. It's hopeless. The past is nothing but a weight. It will build inside you like a stone.”

“To regret the past, to hope in the future, and never to be satisfied with the present: that is what I spend my whole life doing”

“Because I have forgiven my past, and God has forgiven my past, no person on earth can make me denounce my past. It's what made me who I am today.”

“I can’t undo the past. But in the future, I will gladly lay my life down for you, brother. (Styxx)”

“I was here with the most amazing man. He didn’t even care about my past. He wanted me exactly how I was, even if I was broken.”
