“May the flowers remind us why the rain was so necessary.” // Xan Oku
“To everyone heavy with the weight of things missing or fractured today... it doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful or unthankful.
It only means you’re human.
And you’re not alone in that.

We lose things in this life. We all do.

Things are taken. Things break and leave and we are kept from what we love. We are kept from peace.

If today finds you more aware of what you’ve lost than what you have, this is for you, a note to say you’re not alone. A lot of people feel what you feel today. 
Perhaps today finds you with the same faces as one year ago today. And when they ask how you are or if anything is new, perhaps you wish you had some different answers. Answers that sound like change or pride or progress.  Maybe you wanted this year to be about change but not a lot has changed. Or maybe changes came but they were not the ones you hoped for. 
It’s okay. Where you are and what you feel and what you wish was different. It’s okay. 
You’re still here and this day will pass and tomorrow has never happened before. The same is even true for the rest of today. Things can still be new. There is room for healing and surprise and even room for change. 
This life is not a race. It’s not a contest or a competition. It’s a patient broken story breaking more and healing more with all our different days, rich with winning as well as losing. The beauty is that we get to go together.” // @jamietworkowski
Racking my brain for clever quotes about gin, but somehow all I can come up with are Fall Out Boy song titles. Maybe that's weird, or maybe it's appropriate. Regardless - of all the gin joints in all the world...this one was without a doubt utterly delicious, and handsomely decorated.
"How lovely the silence of growing things."

"I hope you felt the fireworks. I hope you saw the wonder when skies filled up with color. And in the moment, I hope you were reminded that it’s possible, that beauty still happens. We don’t only live in books awake and dreams asleep. We are living our stories you and I, with dreams inside us undeniable, love to give, and people to walk with." // If You Feel Too Much, @jamietworkowski
"It is not the light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake." // Frederick Douglass
"It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever lives much performs much, and can accomplish much and what is done in love, is well done." // Vincent Van Gogh
"Music can change the world because it can change people." // Bono | The Joshua Tree Tour | 5.17.17
