“People are only mean when they are threatened.”

Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do. Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it. Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others. Don’t assume that it’s too late to get involved.

Nothing haunts us like the things we don’t say.

And when it feels too heavy to go on being you, lose a bit of yourself in me.

In order to move on, you must understand why you felt what you did and why you no longer need to feel it.

I never feel the rise before the fall.

You can be fat and still be sexy . It all depends on how you feel about yourself.

With mindfulness training we are able to recognize when we get lost in our mental dramas, and bring a kind and nonreactive presence to the feelings that accompany them.

Sometimes strangers feel like home too.
