Words hold so much power in our lives—why is that? They're so simple, that they go unnoticed by many. But, they make us feel. Words evoke emotions in us. They can make us feel heartbroken or make us laugh. They can make us feel connected. More importantly, they can inspire. I am constantly inspired by quotes that I see, and I think you should feel the same!
