This is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

“A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.”

Richard Bach

"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing" (don't make assumptions on too narrow a base of evidence)

"Never write anything you wouldn't want your mother to read."

My mom used to say those quotes to me when I was growing up.

The other one, not so much.

Life is made up of small pleasures.
Happiness is made up of those tiny
successes. The big ones come too
infrequently. And if you don't collect
all these tiny successes, the big ones
don't really mean anything.

Norman Lear

When I begin to sit with the

Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.
Jim Morrison

Know that compassion for others begins
with being able to accept and forgive
yourself. As long as you judge others
for their imperfections, you will never
be able to truly accept and love yourself.
