Be brave enough to break your own heart. - Cheryl Strayed

Cultivate an understanding that life is long, that people both change and remain the same, that every last one of us will need to fuck up and be forgiven, that we’re all just walking and walking and walking and trying to find our way, that all roads lead eventually to the mountaintop.

But compassion isn't about solutions. It's about giving all the love that you've got.
