You know, why at the end of your life should you assemble thousands of pages of 'Why am I so sad, why am I so depressed?' Instead, assemble thousands of pages of why you're so content.

If I am to truly become an autonomous woman, then I must take over that role of being my own guardian.

Elizabeth Gilbert Quotes
