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 1

To be clear, I am not pregnant. Nor do I currently plan on being pregnant soon. However, I promised myself that if I was 30 and still single I'd start to explore my options for having a child either on my own or later in life with a partner. Well, 30 came and went, but 31 is still here so close enough I figure. My first step was to make an appointment to discuss options with a doctor because I could do all the research I wanted on the internet, but I knew it would overwhelm me. As I write this, I haven't had that appointment yet so no news there. Now I made this appointment in February (hey, I was still 30 then!) and it was originally scheduled for October (yes, an 8-month wait for an initial appointment), but last week the appointment got moved up to this week and things got moving! The timing feels right in a certain way. Two people I care about are having babies in the next month, someone else I love is expecting next year, and I also know multiple couples either trying or g

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica
