“Don't allow your pride to push you away from those who truly care for you just because you are going through a rough patch in life. That's exactly when you need them with you the most.”

“When you're already going through a rough patch of life; a slight wave from past thrash you down so gracefully that journey bcms an unending shore !”

“Don't you see, Ren? That's exactly why I have to go. You need to know that you can survive without me. That's there's more to life than just me. You need to see this world that's opened up to you and know that you have choices. I refuse to be your cage”

“My father gave me a penny tree when I wasn't much older than you are, and when he did, he said he believed everyone needs a special place to lick their wounds and regroup, somewhere that feels safer than anywhere else in the world. So that's what we're doing here today, We're nailing that penny to this tree because I want you to have somewhere to go that grounds you, an axis for your world to spin around, and a place that's all yours and no one else's-- for times when life throws things at you, Annie: things that test you and push you to your limits; things not unlike what you're going through right now. Only from now on, instead of running away from them, you'll have somewhere to think them through. Your own special spot where you can hurt in private when you need to be alone, and where you can weigh all of the pros and cons to make the decisions you need to make.”

“Just when you think you've got your life by the reins, that's when it's most likely to run away with you.”

“Don't let your 'bad pride' prevent you from moving forward on an opportunity that will allow you to showcase your 'good pride'.”
