“Do you use others as an excuse to keep your pain alive? Do you fictionalize, exaggerate, and form conclusions using just your limited perception?

“Change and tragedy and pain are so important. They crack you open and bring you back to innocence and unknowing by providing an experience you know nothing about. They are not the only threshold to innocence, but they are highly underused and rarely appreciated.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“If you want safety and certainty, if you want everything to remain the same and never change, you were born into the wrong parallel universe.

“There is no guarantee what you teach your children will catch, no promise they will have your same conviction of truths. They may even have a warped perception of you. After all, they don’t have your unique experiences. But it is vitally important for them to prove they can make it on their own. And […]
“The most wonderful thing about life is that we get to experience (and watch) the breath of the Universe move through these inanimate clay bodies to transform our limitations and dullness into exquisite works of art.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
