"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep, loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

Hi, I was the anon that sent you that message yesterday. I wish there was more I could say to encourage you, but in the meantime I just hope you're having a great day and that maybe this message has made your day a little brighter <3 [P.S. I love the quote on your profile! Very true.]

Thank you so much for revealing yourself! 

I appreciate your positivity. We should talk more often. :)

Yes, that quote truly speaks to me. Whenever I feel the pain of the things I’ve suffered through, I try to remember that it only benefits me in the end.
