The world is full of things that upset people. But most of us deal with it and move on and don't try and burn the planet down.

When you hear about what someone else is going through, and you are unable to distance yourself from it or in any way muzzle your empathy and are inspired to actually do something, these are moments to learn from.

To some degree we all find life difficult, perplexing, and oppressive. Even when it goes well, as it may for a time, we worry that it probably won't keep on that way.

I feel like we sometimes let our emotions and anger get in the way.

So many people in the world would rather stay in a situation that's painful but familiar because they're comfortable with it. Not a lot of people have the strength or heart to realize when something's not good for them and to turn around and be alone.

When you hold on to anger and unforgiveness, you can't move forward.

There is the natural tendency that all of us are vulnerable to, to deny unpleasant realities and to look for any excuse to push them away and resolve to think about them another day long in the future.

I've spent my life navigating through sensitive issues. Not wanting to upset people.

You always want to feel you're not the only one going through something unpleasant.

The thing about grief is that it's a roller coaster - it's up, it's down. The emotions sometimes take over.
