We all struggle sometimes. Some days life is indeed difficult, especially when we are incapable of finding hope and strength in moments of those difficulties, and to rise through them we all need that small ray of light that could brighten up our path, to remind us that the darkness is really temporary. This book through its pages of printed words tries to give the readers a sense of hope, a gentle way of understanding, the courage to move on and ultimately finding strength and hope within the self. All the quotes, prose and poems in this book are symbolized as small lanterns to guide the readers through their hard times into a world of hope where they can be assured of their unique value and treat themselves with gentleness, kindness and love.
