Call your mother. Tell her you love her. Remember you’re the only person who knows what her heart sounds like from the inside.
Learn to trust the journey even when you do not understand it.
Like wildflowers; you must allow yourself to grow in all the places people thought you never would.
Anywhere can be paradise as long as you have the will to live. After all, you are alive, so you will always have the chance to be happy.
My mother used to say to me, ‘You can’t eat beauty, it doesn’t feed you.’ And these words played and bothered me, I didn’t really understand them until finally I realized that beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume. It was something that I just had to be. And what my mother meant by saying that you can’t eat beauty is that you can’t rely on beauty to sustain you. What actually sustains us, what is fundamentally beautiful is compassion for yourself and those around you. That kind of beauty inflames the heart and enchants the soul.
