“One day it just clicks. You realize what’s important and what isn’t. You learn to care less about what other people think of you and more about what you think of yourself. You realize how far you’ve come and you remember when you thought things were such a mess that you would never recover. And you SMILE. You smile because you are truly proud of yourself and the person you’ve fought to become.”
— Unknown
“I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”

Traditional Celtic marriage vows, better than anything I’ve ever heard:
You cannot possess me for I belong to myself
But while we both wish it, I give you that which is mine to give
You cannot command me, for I am a free person
But I shall serve you in those ways you require
and the honeycomb will taste sweeter coming from my hand.
Be kind. Even on your bad days.

– C.S. Lewis
