On finding peace…
“I never ever thought in my life that I would be able to do this.
Because I was always afraid, of my own shadow sometimes.
Now I hope I can make a difference in somebody else’s life. I think we make our lives more complicated than what it is.”
“One thing I’ve never asked is, ‘Why me?’ When I found out, people would say ‘You’re so calm.’
I never say ‘Why me? I don’t deserve this.’
Because, you know, it could be worse.
I’d rather it be me than a loved one.
And, it’s hard to balance, you know? It’s hard to let people help you, because you would rather do it yourself if you can.
But if it were one of my loved ones, I would want to be there. And here I was pushing them away.”
“But, even if everyone leaves me, I’m not alone.
And that gives me peace. And here I am.
God is not going to forget about me.
He is not going to leave me alone. I have to trust Him; He has a plan for me.”
