"Water finds the path of least resistance. It flows. You never see square turns on a river. There’s always a curvature. I think life’s like that, too. It has a natural curve, an arc. I think it’s our job to trust in that…I’m grateful for the twists and turns of fate that have brought me here."

Last night my yoga instructor closed our practice with those words.

Through the silence they reached deep into me & took the breathe from my chest for a moment.

Gratitude. Always have gratitude.

"And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can’t ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it’s already happened."

"My ability to turn good news into anxiety is rivaled only by my ability to turn anxiety into chin acne."
