“Fear tends to be the essence of our experience in the abyss, so in simplistic terms it is letting go of this fear that is the catalyst for crawling out of its depths. Fear makes us feel trapped and unsure of what to do, in turn we panic and exhaust our energy fighting the anxiety itself.

A word about fear. It is life’s only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous adversary, how well I know. It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unerring ease. It begins in your mind, always. One moment you are feeling calm, self-possessed, happy. Then fear, disguised in the garb of mild-mannered doubt, slips into your mind like a spy. ~ Life of Pi

Everything is temporary
“Throughout my life and more so lately, I realize that everything is temporary.

“Love is not finding someone to live with. It's finding someone you can't live without.” ~ Rafael Ortiz

“There is no greater happiness than love. When we are filled with love we do not need the love of others to be fulfilled. It is then, the love of others adds colors to the rainbow of life, together we gaze above at its beauty, dance in the rain that makes it possible, while marveling at its source. Love then overflows out of us, splashing into the cups of others.” ~ Chris W Metz
