Want to Read $ 8.31"At some point you have to figure out who you are. Are you someone who picks themselves back up? Are you someone who learns how to handle hardship and losing friendships, and keep going? Do you know how to find your people and let yourself have fun? And if you don't learn about that in seventh grade with everyone else, then...when will you learn it?"-Leah Stecher, The Things We Miss

"I always wanted magic to be real, and now I know that this world is much stranger and more miraculous than it appears. But I believe, more than I believe anything else, that the true miracle and beauty in life comes from living it. I hope you will come to agree with me. I know you're struggling this year, and I wish I could help you more. I wish I could be with you to help figure it all out. But I'll tell you the secret: no one has it figured out. The joy comes from figuring it out. One day at a time. Live your life, all of it, full of magic and miracles and beauty and pain and sorrow. You'll be glad you did. I am."-Leah Stecher, The Things We Miss
