    “You’re no different. You came into this world as an answer to a prayer, a solution to a need. If there was no need for you, you never would’ve shown up. The fact that you were born is the guarantee that you have a reason for being here. There’s something you came to give — a gift, a talent, a message, a meaning. The world needs you to be you.”
    ― Derek Rydall, Emergence: The End of Self Improvement

    "Just as when we come into the world, when we die we are afraid of the unknown. But the fear is something from within us that has nothing to do with reality. Dying is like being born: just a change." ~Isabel Allende

    "Consider this: At any given time, some 75 trillion cells are doing their thing in your body. But they are constantly dying and being replaced by new ones, such that in less than two years you won't have a single cell you have today. Yet you remain you. How is this possible? Even though each of your cells contains your entire genome, you would hardly say that any one of your cells constitutes you. But taken together they amount to you."---https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/3410/03-ever-10.html

    “There's something nice about the silence of a car ride in the dark, going home. When you were tired of the radio and conversation, and it was okay to just be alone with your thoughts and the road ahead. If you're that comfortable with someone, you don't have to talk.”
    ― Sarah Dessen, What Happened to Goodbye

    If I could save time in a bottle
    The first thing that I'd like to do
    Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away
    Just to spend them with you
