This past week I have been hit with news that a great guy loved by many took his own life. Although I did not know him personally, I am deeply saddened for him and all his loved ones. I can't imagine how empty you must feel in this world in order to end your own life. This story has impacted me drastically and has given me a constant reminder that it will always get better. With that being said, here are some quotes to give you some reassurance about life when you feel like you've hit rock bottom, or to help someone you know who is currently suffering.

1. "Slow progress is still progress."

2. "We are supposed to feel. We are supposed to love. And hate. And hurt. And grieve and break and be destroyed and rebuild ourselves to be destroyed again. That is human. That is humanity. That's being alive. That's the point. That's the entire point. Don't avoid it. Don't extinguish it."
