15 quotes that give me comfort

It's hard times for a lot of people right now. So here are 15 quotes that give me comfort.
  1. "If you're going through Hell, keep going."—Winston Churchill
  2. "You’re braver than you believe and stronger and smarter than you think."—Winnie-the-Pooh
  3. "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." — Dumbledore
  4. "Frodo: I can’t do this, Sam.                                                                                                      Sam: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.                                                                Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?                                                                                  Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for."—J.R.R. Tolkien
  5. "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life."—Jean-Luc Picard
  6. "Mirror Spock: One man cannot summon the future.                                                              Kirk: But one man can change the present."—Star Trek
  7. "Tracey: When you can't run, you crawl. And when you can't crawl, when you can't do that… Zoe: … you find someone to carry you."—Firefly
  8. "If you can't make your own neurotransmitters, store bought is okay."—Ina Garten
  9. "Nevertheless, she persisted."—In regards to Elizabeth Warren
  10. "There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights."—Bram Stroker
  11. "Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy. But remember this: You have friends here. You're not alone."—Dumbledore
  12. "To be good, and to do good, is all we have to do.;—John Adams
  13. "It is important,” Dumbledore said, “to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then could evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated."—Dumbledore
  14. "Fairytales are more than true: Not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."—Neil Gaiman
  15. "Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember you have within you the strength, the patience and the passion to reach for the stars, to change the world."—Harriet Tubman

Starting my parental journey, part 9

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here ,  read part 6 here ,  read part 7 here , and read part 8 here . I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...
