5. “And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain.

They shake things up until we are forced to hold on to only what matters most. The rest falls away.” — Glennon Doyle Melton
