[estelaseere]

With gratitude, optimism becomes sustainable.

[estelaseere]

That's what life is, you just...you gotta keep moving forward. Even when you know that there is some bad stuff waiting for you years or weeks, maybe days down the road. You keep moving. 'Cause even when you think you know what's gonna happen, it doesn't always. And that's what hope is made of.

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. - Andy Dufresne

A sickness known as hate. Not a virus, not a microbe, not a germ—but a sickness nonetheless, highly contagious, deadly in its effects. Don't look for it in the Twilight Zone—look for it in a mirror. Look for it before the light goes out altogether. - Rod Serling

You understand nothing, but it really doesn't matter, since what you mean is, you're glad to see me, just as I'm glad to see you because no more loneliness. - Inigo

"Happiness is a recipe for disappointment; it’s a recipe for evaluation instead of observation. It’s a recipe for kids thinking, “Why am I not happy at this moment?” Instead you want to welcome every feeling: sadness, anger, grief, anxiety, anything that is coming up."

- Ryan Reynolds (Maclean's Article)

[estelaseere]

"You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy."

Just remembering you've had an 'and' when you're back to 'or' makes the 'or' mean more than it did before.

Into the Woods

[estelaseere]

We're all suffering! That's why the world needs more love and less...stomping on birds!

Shannon (Kim’s Convenience)

[estelaseere]

The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.

Haldir (J.R.R. Tolkien - The Fellowship of the Ring)

[estelaseere]

It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good-humor.

Charles Dickens (A Christmas Carol)

[estelaseere]

The truth is, every human being on this planet is ridiculous in their own way. So we shouldn't judge, we shouldn't fight, because in the end... in the end, none of it matters. None of the stuff.

What We Did On Our Holiday

[estelaseere]

You gotta live your life the best you can though you sometimes do your worst. You gotta laugh when you fail, it's not the end of the world, life is a play you can't rehearse.
