&ldquo;Now that I look back, I don&#039;t know why I was so stressed about it all this time. Funny how sometimes you worry a lot about something and it turns out to be nothing.&rdquo; <br /> ― R.J. Palacio, Wonder

Summary:

     "What matters anymore. Not even my sister knows I exist. All she cares about is her wine. She's a f*ing mess like everything else in my life. I wish mom were here to give me a kiss when I scraped my knee, or when dad would fix my bike when my tires went flat."

                                       ~~~

     "Nathan is a handful I can't control. He can't see that I'm doing this all for us not just for me. I've had 3 breakdowns in the past week and I just want to implode. If I can barely handle Nathan, house bills, food, my job how can I go back to college? I need a drink. Badly"

If you&#039;re reading this I&#039;m sure I owe you at least one of these: I&#039;m Sorry. I Forgive You. You Were Right. And most importantly, Thank You. If you&#039;ve made me smile, you&#039;ve helped me live.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, or fabulous?
