We are who we are, neither as good 

nor as bad as we're made out to be. 

And who we are doesn't change 

how we truly feel, only our freedom 

to follow those feelings.

~ Melissa Marr ~

No matter what happens, 

in most cases there is a way forward. 

Move forward by assessing the facts, 

with a vision of the ideal outcome in mind. 

Act with kindness, consideration, and care. 

And if there isn't a way yet, 

it's time to forge one.

~ Grace Gibraltar ~

“Hope is a psychological mechanism

that is unaffected by external realities.”
