1.It's better to have love and lost, right?

“Grief is love's souvenir. It's our proof that we once loved. Grief is the receipt we wave in the air that says to the world: Look! Love was once mine. I love well. Here is my proof that I paid the price.” 

2.Seek help from a distance.

“People who are hurting don't need Avoiders, Protectors, or Fixers. What we need are patient, loving witness. People to sit quietly and hold space for us. People to stand in helpful vigil to our pain.”

3.Advice might be more practical.

“The only meaningful thing we can offer one another is love. Not advice, not questions about our choices, not suggestions for the future, just love.”

4.But, I really hate traffic jams.

“If our goal is to be tolerant of people who are different than we are, Chase, then we really are aiming quite low. Traffic jams are to be tolerated. People are to be celebrated.”

5.Sometimes, we need to take a good look in the mirror.

“People who need help sometimes look a lot like people who don’t need help.”

6.But what about imposter syndrome?

7.I must be pretty good at breathing by now.

8.We all want to have fun.

“That’s how you can tell that you’re filling yourself with the wrong things. You use a lot of energy, and in the end, you feel emptier and less comfortable than ever.”

“Since brokenness is the way of folks, the only way to live peacefully is to forgive everyone constantly, including yourself.” 

11.Let's all try to be a little braver.

“Kind people are brave people. Brave is not something you should wait to feel. Brave is a decision. It is a decision that compassion is more important than fear, than fitting in, than following the crowd.” 

12.You don't need to know everything.

“It's OK to feel too much and know too little.” 

13.I think she's on to something.

“So what is it in a human life that creates bravery, kindness, wisdom, and resilience? What if it's pain? What if it's the struggle?”

14.Damn, we can't hide anything from her.

“No woman on earth doesn’t give a f*ck — no woman is that cool — she’s just hidden her fire. Likely, it’s burning her up.”
