Take me as I am

“Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I’ve ever known.”

“As a small child, I felt in my heart two contradictory feelings, the horror of life and the ecstasy of life.”

“Don’t be in such a rush to figure everything out. Embrace the unknown and let your life surprise you.”

“I keep wondering, how many people do you need to be, before you can become yourself.”

“Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn fast.”

“I want to infect you with the tremendous excitement of living, because I believe that you have the strength to bear it.”

“Eventually soulmates meet, for they have the same hiding place.”

“I will never say the things that I want to say to you. I know the damage it would do. I love you more than I hate my loneliness and pain.”

“Life goes on, so don’t waste your time worrying about your mistakes.”

“If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.”

“If flowers can grow through blankets of melting snow, there is hope for me too.”

“Be with someone who inspires you and makes you be the best version of yourself.”

“I’m not sure which is worse: intense feeling, or the absence of it.”

“If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.”

“I just want someone to hear what I have to say. And maybe if I talk long enough, it’ll make sense.”

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do.”

“I am physically, mentally and emotionally ready to enter a new phase in my life. I’m ready to grow and get better.”
