Quotes by Melissa Toppen (?)

“There’s no old life versus new life. There is simply my life. Acceptance really is a wonderful
thing. Allowing me to let go of the baggage I carried with me and for once to just be free.”
― Melissa Toppen, Second Chance

“Fear is not only part of us, it becomes us. Consuming all that we are until we simply have nothing left.”
― Melissa Toppen, The Traveler: The Amulet of Life

3 likes

“We are raised to live this life, never really sure as to what is in store for us beyond. Some people spend their lives determined to know what awaits them next. Others, like me, simply except that there may or may not be something after. Life is just life. At least that's what I used to believe.”
― Melissa Toppen, The Traveler: The Amulet of Life
