“Don’t allow past experiences to be forgotten.Hold them close.”

“What remains of your past if you didn't allow yourself to feel it when it happened? If you don't have your experiences in the moment, if you gloss them over with jokes or zoom past them, you end up with curiously dispassionate memories.”

“I think that the best thing we can do for our children is to allow them to do things for themselves, allow them to be strong, allow them to experience life on their own terms, allow them to take the subway... let them be better people, let them believe more in themselves.”

“For better or worse, our pasts and experiences are what define us. But they don’t have to rule us. In time, all hurts can be forgiven. It’s only when you add to them that they can’t.” - Nero”

“The greatest gift you can give someone is your time. To allow them intro your world, to be present for them while they're there, and to allow them to love that experience in their own way.”

“The past doesn't matter. People cling to it because it allows them to ignore the present.”
