Engraved portrait of Cheryl Strayed, facing right

You go on by doing the best you can.

You go on by being generous.

You go on by being true.

You go on by offering comfort to others who can't go on.

You go on by allowing the unbearable days to pass and by allowing the pleasure in other days.

You go on by finding a channel for your love and another for your rage.

Additional quotes by Cheryl Strayed

The most terrible and beautiful and interesting things happen in a life. For some of you, those things have already happened. Whatever happens to you belongs to you. Make it yours. Feed it to yourself even if it feels impossible to swallow. Let it nurture you, because it will.
