There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads. Afraid, confused, without a road map.
 The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days.  Of course, when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back.
But once in a while, people push on to something better.
Something found just beyond the pain of going it alone,
and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in, or to give someone a second chance.  Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream.  Because it's only when you're tested that you truly discover who you are.
And it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be. The person you want to be does exist, somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith and belief.
And beyond heartache and fear of what lies ahead.

 

*****************************
There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment, you must choose your direction.
Will you FIGHT to stay on the path? Will OTHERS TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE or will you LABEL YOURSELF?  Will you be HAUNTED BY YOUR CHOICE or will you EMBRACE YOUR NEW PATH?
Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up.
******************

Sometimes pain becomes such a huge part of your life that you expect it to always be there,
because you can't remember a time in your life when it wasn't. But then one day you feel something else,
something that feels wrong, only because it's so unfamiliar. And in that moment you realize you're happy.

Every once in a while, people step up. They rise above themselves.
Sometimes they surprise you. And sometimes they fall short.Life is funny sometimes. It can push pretty hard. But if you look close enough, you find hope in the words of children, in the bars of a song and in the eyes of someone you love.
And if you're lucky, I mean if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back.

 

Regret comes in all shapes and sizes. Some are small, like when we do a bad thing for a good reason.
Some are bigger, like when we let down a friend.
Some of us escape the pangs of regret by making the right choice.
Some of us have little time for regret because we're looking forward to the future.
Sometimes we have to fight to come to terms with the past.
And sometimes we bury our regret by promising to change our ways.
 But our biggest regrets are not for the things we did, but for the things we didn't do.
Things we didn't say, that could have saved someone we care about,
especially when we can see the dark storm that's headed their way.
