the first four notes of the score’s ‘one soul’ play following ilya’s russian monologue, after he confesses he loves shane
the full song returns at sunrise during the lake scene, after they’ve both said “i love you”
shame weakens your posture. demand your own presence and take pride in the fact that you’ve lived and you can forgive. you’re still here, you’re still worthy. God believes in you, you believe in love. you make it exist. extend it to yourself.

tolerating always turns into resentment. at first, you call it patience, then love. but what it really is, is self abandonment. every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern or silence your discomfort, something inside you keeps score. eventually, the bill comes due.
I don't know who needs to hear this but someone recently told me "no amount of waiting will make you more brave, and no amount of worrying will make it more safe."

Your life won’t change because of what you want but because of what you repeatedly do. So instead of asking “What do I want to achieve this year” ask “What does a good day look like for the person I want to become?” Then design your routines around that.
i think it's important to have something to look forward to every day or every week, so when life drains you, it’ll help you to remember that you need to keep going a little longer because there's something waiting for you at the end of the week that might make you smile again.
