My past and present were the two candles we started with; she would ask me what I would like to start with or deal with today. I would light up either my past or my present depending on the answer. During the last few sessions we've used the candles I've noticed my past melting more and more and becoming duller and duller in light.”

“The fact is it happened. It's over now. I do not live my life constantly wishing that I could change the past.”

“A light that I thought had been extinguished was slowly coming back to life.”

“Love is not part time and its not conditional. I learned this from my mom.”

“The more knowledge I gain, the more like an adult I feel. I never got this chance to become an adult.”

“Ask yourself, "what would you do to survive?”

“How can the past and future be, when the past no longer is, and the future is not yet? As for the present, if it were always present and never moved on to become the past, it would not be time, but eternity.”
