"Dear Self,

Look, you have only 
got so many days till your midway.

Till you’ve heard almost half the morning doves you ever will.

Felt the sun on your face half as many chances as you’ll have, laughed half as many times as you’ll ever know — and who knows, maybe most of your God-blessed moments are already passed?" ~Ann Voskamp
