More quotes by Shannon L. Alder

"After every storm, there is a rainbow. If you have eyes, you will find it. If you have wisdom, you will create it. If you have love for yourself and others, you won’t need it."
"The most introspective of souls are often those that have been hurt the most."
"Spiritual pain is when you can’t stand another moment not knowing the real truth, and when you finally do know you can’t let go."
"Sometimes the best and worst times of your life can coincide. It is a talent of the soul to discover the joy in pain—-thinking of moments you long for, and knowing you’ll never have them again. The beautiful ghosts of our past haunt us, and yet we still can’t decide if the pain they caused us out weighs the tender moments when they touched our soul. This is the irony of love."
"Beauty is not who you are on the outside, it is the wisdom and time you gave away to save another struggling soul, like you."
