If the fear hasn’t killed me yet
Then nothing will
I’m in the war of my life
I’m at the core of my life
Got no choice but to fight ‘til it’s done
So Fight on, fight on everyone, so fight on
Got no choice but to fight ‘til it’s done

“It doesn’t matter how tough we are. Trauma always leaves a scar. It follows us home, it changes our lives. Trauma messes everybody up. But, maybe that’s the point.

Before we can step up.” -Grey’s Anatomy (Elevator Love Letter)
“We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It’s never your fault. But it’s always your fault, because if you wanted to change you’re the one who has got to change.”

“We did not come to fear the future, we came here to shape it.” - President Obama
