Accepting all the good and bad about someone. It's a great thing to aspire to. The hard part is actually doing it.

for once, you believed in yourself. you believed you were beautiful and so did the rest of the world.

If you accept others as equals, you embrace them unconditionally, now and forever. But if you let them know that you tolerate them, you suggest in the same breath that they are actually an inconvenience, like a nagging pain or an unpleasant odour you are willing to disregard.

Perhaps we should acknowledge where others come from, as it might just be where we are headed.

There were so many places in my time with Rogerson that I wished I could go back to, hitting the stop button at just one moment to stop everything that came after. I had so many If Onlys, but each place I thought to stop meant missing something that came later. I needed it all, in the end, to make my own story find its finish.

Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace.
