“never be, try to become”

“the sensation of trying to escape... but never being able to... i'm sure i felt that... that's... death”

“We are not sure what we will become, only what we want to and don’t want to. We often become what we never thought we could, then we become fine with that.”

“No matter how much we have materially, we are often in a place of scarcity. We never think we have enough or that we're good enough. Instead of getting lost in a sense of lack, once we realize we are part of something bigger, it becomes clear we have many gifts to offer the world.”

“I guess what I’m trying to say is, you just can’t tell who you’re going to end up with. You might spend your whole life dreaming about one type of person, only to find happiness with somebody completely different. Someone you figured you had nothing in common with just might turn out to be your dream guy. And you know he’s your dream guy because you become a better person. He brings out all these great things in you that you never knew or believed were there. And if you’re really lucky you do the same for him. It makes it even more incredible that people find each other, considering most of them are looking in the wrong places to begin with.”

“But it ain't easy, trying to do without God even if you know he ain't there, trying to do without him is a strain”

“To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair.”
