"I want to go back to when things made sense."

"Memories define who we are."

"I'm not the girl I was in Minnesota."

"Connection is what we need most."

"Being vulnerable is harder than being tough."

"I don't fit in here."

"Maybe I deserve to feel this sad."

"I can't pretend to be happy all the time."

"The people we care about matter most."

"I've been running from myself."

"Sadness isn't weakness, it's honesty."

"I need to let people in."

"Change is inevitable, but I don't have to face it alone."
