Beautiful place Quote by John Searles

““What I will say is this: each of us is born into this life with a light inside of us. Some, like yours, burn brighter than others. You don’t see that yet, but I do. What’s most important is to never let that light go out, because when you do, it means you’ve lost yourself to the darkness. It means you’ve lost your hope. And hope is what makes this world a beautiful place. Do you understand what I am trying to say?””
