If you keep chasing shooting stars, you'll never feel the warmth of the sun.

Sometimes the ending you wish for isn't what you dreamt, but it's perfect enough.

Be present and aware of the privilege of living.

Embrace your journey and those who come across your path. Be gracious in your endeavors. Focus on your craft. Those who support your dreams now and feel your sincere humility and gratitude will be there 20, 30, 40 years from now, padding your old bones and time worn, weary soul.
