The means are the end. Your journey is not from one emotion to another. Your journey, your destination is your predominant feeling now.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Persistent struggle and unease with the compliance to a set of rules, ideals, or dogmas cannot be eased by further consent to them, but by freedom from them.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“There are as many opportunities for ease as there are moments of struggle.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
