Life is like a black hole. You don't know what lies ahead. You can't ever turn back. All you can do is move forward.

Jangan takut jatuh, karena yang tidak pernah memanjatlah yang tidak pernah jatuh. Jangan takut gagal, karena yang tidak pernah gagal hanyalah orang-orang yang tidak pernah melangkah. Jangan takut salah, karena dengan kesalahan yang pertama kita dapat menambah pengetahuan untuk mencari jalan yang benar pada langkah yang kedua.

What fools are those who spend their time constructing defenses against things there are no defenses for.

Life is all about endurance.

So I can curse my pain all I want. I can try to leave it at the door.
But maybe I should say grace, gnaw on its bones and thank it for nourishment instead.
Maybe for now it's what's keeping me alive. And for now, I can accept living out of spite.

It couldn't be an all-bad world, could it, not with birds who warble and call? Maybe that was the secret - to find the few things that made life just a fraction better, and to focus on those. Bird warbles. Peach fuzz. Puppies barking as if they're full grown dogs. Nothing great, certainly nothing to justify the rest of it, but enough to keep you going.
