You can’t embrace your whole life if you’re shut down.
Sometimes in life, you have to make things happen. That you can change your life if you're willing to let go of the old and actively look for the new. That even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
Rather than getting nostalgic...embrace the new opportunities and challenges available to you now.

I want to write stories that don't help you escape life, but embrace life.
The most positive action we can take about the past is to change our perception of it.
This is the biggest mistake I could think would save me. I wanted to give up the idea that I had any control. Shake things up. To be saved by chaos. To see if I could cope, I wanted to force myself to grow again. To explode my comfort zone.
