"Sometimes you get stuck. Sometimes you go numb. The color drains away. You stop trying, and that just feeds the spiral going down. Maybe you'll get lucky one day. You see yourself in the mirror and snap out of it. But for some of us...it takes more. A friend. A stranger. A story. A helping hand."
"There's a white mist inside my head. Everything is mixed with everything else and I can't tell what from what. I want someone to prove to me that I am the person that I know I am."

"Lands that stretched on forever. Skies one could drown in. The heartbeat of nature, silent yet strong. And amidst it all a people. Beacons of light and life. Laughter that warmed my heart like naught else before. They are my meaning and my purpose. My love."
