There’s a saying that goes, the devil doesn’t waste energy on the souls he already has. Think about it: the tempting path is often the one that’s easy, quick, and glamorous. So when hardships come knocking and it feels like the devil is throwing everything at you, perhaps it’s because you’re on to something right. Embrace the struggle; it’s often a sign you’re on the path to something truly meaningful

Birth, life, death. We think it is linear, but it is not. We think it is a circle but in truth, there are no lines to make a shape. There are no borders without lines. We do not travel a path from here to there. We are always on the path. It goes nowhere. It comes from nowhere. It is nowhere.

Don’t let the bad times get you down, You have some of those moments where life tells you, it’s time to cry. Without those, what would fuel the poet?

That's why the girl's killed herself. Because when you can see your real life, and it's some place else, then what's the point? If you lose hope you'll ever get there, then even if you kill yourself, it makes no difference.

Much as I wanted to think of Lark in someplace better, I knew from a thousand conversations that she never worried abut that place. Maybe it was real and full of saints and poets, or maybe it was poetry itself. Her concern was this place. This animal world with its unfurling dread and convulsive wars and fabricated certainties, and its breathtaking storms across the water. With Willow infiltrating the landscape and its stories coming thick and fast - these explorers getting younger and more innocent - I felt desperate to reach through time. I wanted to find these kids in a moment of calm. To take their lapels gently in my hands and say, "Better is right here." I still hear it in Lark's voice. Better is here. Stay, and make it better.

Harper smiles just a little. “You know...”

Oren tilts his head.

“Um, never mind.”

“Man, don’t do that. It’s the worst.”

Harper shakes his head, cheeks turning hot. He rubs his face against his shoulder. “Just pointless, sentimental what-ifs.”

“What-ifs can be like wishes. You don’t have to squash them.

Just because we want to walk one path does not mean we should turn away and choose another out of some misguided sense of duty, honor, or sacrifice. Instead, mayhap the very path we desire most is the one God seeks to lead us down, in order to teach us holiness, trust, and even joy.

I now memorize ancient poems from my mother's books. I reread the romantic stories and never tire of them. They are terrible stories, terribly written, yet they are about fate, a kinder fate that unites one with her lover despite hardships and improbability—and they never fail to give me a momentary hope, as they must have given my mother years ago, as if all will be well in the end.

Don’t hope for better. Just be better.
Be something better. Be more compassionate, more resilient, more humble, more disciplined.
Many people would also throw in there “Be more human,” but no—be a better human. And maybe, if we’re lucky, one day we’ll get to be more than human.
