"One conversation, one word of encouragement, or one expression of love might change someone's life."
"You're going through something. I don't know what that thing is, but you have to confront it. You have to because if you don't, it's going to consume you, it is going to eat you up, and it is going to leave you a rotting shell of a person."
"Life is all about relationships and the choices we make surrounding those relationships are huge. Many of those come down to our attitudes. Our attitudes often determine how we feel about our relationships."
