I Eat Pray Love

We all want things to stay the same. Settle for living in misery because we're afraid of change, of things crumbling to ruins.

Then I looked at around to this place, at the chaos it has endured - the way it has been adapted, burned, pillaged and found a way to build itself back up again. And I was reassured, maybe my life hasn't been so chaotic, it's just the world that is, and the real trap is getting attached to any of it.

Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation.

- Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
