"Our life is always all right. There’s nothing wrong with it. Even if we have horrendous problems, it’s just our life. We are continually battered and redeemed, often by our own hands, and our strength comes when we recognize the broken pieces of our lives. Recognition does not necessarily mean repair, but rather learning how to live amongst the rubble. We cannot go back and keep ourselves from our misfortunes and bad decisions. We can only put one foot in front of the other, carrying our knowledge, and remain open to whatever is next."
