“There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.” ― John Green "We are not our trauma. We are not our brain chemistry. That’s part of who we are, but we’re so much more than that." ― Sam J. Miller "Promise me you’ll always remember that you’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." - Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh “Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.” ― David Richo "I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship." – Louisa May Alcott "Even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there." — Stephen Chbosky "There is no normal life that is free of pain. It's the very wrestling with our problems that can be the impetus for our growth." — Fred Rogers “We don't heal in isolation, but in community.” ― S. Kelley Harrell "You are not your illness. You have an individual story to tell. You have a name, a history, a personality. Staying yourself is part of the battle." — Julian Seifter
