I think we all get into situations where we don't know how to proceed, and those are really the scariest moments that we have, but that's also what makes us 'grow up' and learn a lot about each other.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that when something happens when you're growing up, like a death or divorce, it does open the world slightly because things aren't as straightforward.
As I grow up, the lessons I learn in love and relationships and how we treat each other are hopefully maturing - hopefully.
Horrible things happen all our lives; we all experience loss and death and trauma. Usually, most people, I think, we just get on with it. We don't have a whole soliloquy in the middle of something.
It's so easy to get caught up in your own experiences. They can seem so important. But there are billions and billions of other experiences going on.
I think one of the basic tasks in life - one of the nice things we can do for each other - is to take things that are horrible and scary and make them acceptable and less frightening and, if possible, funny. It feels great to succeed at that.
All of us have moments in our childhood where we come alive for the first time. And we go back to those moments and think, This is when I became myself.
I think everybody has their pain. For me, the time that I really had to grow up was when I was 15 and I had my best friend die of leukemia. Watching somebody so strong go through that is definitely something that will give you a little bit of depth. There have been a lot of things that have happened in my life that has forced me to grow up.
Especially moments when things are very difficult and complicated for me and I am still trying to grasp what is happening and I am still trying to understand and to reach family back home.
I really do think that any deep crisis is an opportunity to make your life extraordinary in some way.
I think everything that happens in life we're prepared for in ways we really don't really know.
