QUOTES:
"Sometimes unexpected troubles suddenly fall upon us. It is impossible to avoid them. But what happens to us next entirely depends on our attitude towards what has happened."
"I do not wait for perfect times. My life has always had plenty of empty corners; I placed joy in these empty corners and plan to do so in the future. I plan to go wherever I want. But what if I don’t have time to prepare something for my journey? Well then, I will fill the gaps on the go with moments, each of which is decisive."
"Only while we are beginners can we make mistakes freely. The more people there are in the world who have gone through endless trials and errors, the faster progress is made."
"Therefore, there are absolutely no reasons to give up, even if the white stripe in your life has come to an end. After all, as my cousin said, when one stripe ends, you simply switch to the next one, and if that one ends too, then another one awaits you."
"No matter how unfair this world may be, it is up to you to solve your problems. Neither parents, family, nor spouses can do it for us. So we need to stop blaming other people and accept that no one but ourselves can help us. Only then can we write our story, not someone else's, and live our life, not someone else's."
