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
(Prompt by me)

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
