" We fooled ourselves into thinking happiness was a gift we would be given time and time again. It’s so much scarier to admit that our lives are in our own flawed, fallible hands. Our futures are not kept safe for us in de cradle of fate. We have to hack them out of stone, dig them out of mud, and build them one messy, imperfect day at a time. "
