“The moment you accept things as they are, you don’t need to hope anymore, because you realize where you are is kind of okay.”


“Stop thinking you’re doing it all wrong. Your path doesn’t look like anybody else’s because it can’t, it shouldn’t, and it won’t.”


”Some people can read ‘War and Peace’ and come away thinking it's a simple adventure story. Others can read the ingredients on a chewing gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.”


”Just be here now.”

When I think about how big the universe is, I feel small. I feel like nothing that happens here on earth truly matters. I’m a speck of dust on the timeline of coincidence.

But what if we are the ones who give our universe meaning because we matter to each other? We are breathing, living organisms with consciousness, which is an absolutely horribly random thing to happen to us, and an incredible gift. And at the same time nothing matters, everything does.

When you think of it from that perspective, the entire universe was built for us. Tiny, tiny earth, in this huge galaxy, and we just happened to be here, right now.
So we are VERY big. We are the point of the universe.
