My two birthday quotations (thoughts)

“I returned home and called whoever it was I was supposed to meet and told them I would not meet them.  I didn’t tell them why because, I don’t know, I wasn’t sure I was supposed to mention it yet.  Maybe, I thought, it is like a wish, and you’re not supposed to talk about it or it will be horribly maligned.  Of course, this definitely wasn’t a wish, but it was something big. I had to believe that.  Despite it all, I had to believe that, for some reason, the universe was directing me back home.”

“Keep your loved ones near and let them know just where you’ll be.  Because others need you right near by, just as you need me.”
