Nobody will protect you from your suffereing. You can't cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or walk it away, or punch it away or even therapy it away. It's just there, and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it and love it and move on and be beteer for it and run as far as you can in the direction of your best and happiest dreams across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal. - Cheryl Strayed

People are going to talk about you, no mater what you do. So yo might as well do whatever brings you joy, and live your best life. - unknown
