“Happiness comes and goes. But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to.”

Trying to do good. Born and raised and living in NYC.
“Here’s the thing, if we have goals and dreams, and we want to do our best, and if we love people and we don’t want to hurt them or lose them, we should feel pain when things go wrong. The point isn’t to live without any regrets…We need to learn to love the flawed, imperfect things that we create and to forgive ourselves for creating them.”

Each moment must be submerged in Gratitude:
If this moment cannot, no other moment will suffice.
