If anyone would ever wrap their arms around me and make me feel safe again. Life is like a thunderstorm—unpredictable, sudden, and often unkind.

Doing good without looking at who and not expecting anything in return is a way to find happiness. Always trying to smile, even in the face of difficulties and not being ashamed of tears, in the face of need, is another way of meeting it. Being humble, doing favors without reward, opening your hands and offering help, is one way to seek happiness.
