stay close to people you love

It was all she ever wanted: to dwell in peace, without the shadow of her past hunting her.

There are some people you’ll never see again. At least, not in the same way.

But their eyes when they met spoke more fondly and kissed tenderly.

Wherever you are, be all there.

Do not expect people to tell you the truth because they also lie to themselves.

Just because you don’t understand something, doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

Sometimes you just have to be brave. You have to be strong. Sometimes you just can’t give in to weak thoughts. You have to beat down those devils that get inside your head and try to make you panic. You struggle along, putting one foot a little bit ahead of the other.

It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.

It's never too late to change the road you're on.

At the end of the day, you can either focus on what's tearing you apart or what's holding you together.

I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.

I write to find out what I'm thinking.

Better a broken promise than none at all.

Wait for someone who love you differently. One who can see the fire in your soul, and the child in your laugh, and the ocean in your heart.

Be willing to go alone sometimes. You don’t need permission to grow. Not everyone who started with you will finish with you. And that’s OK.

The sunrise, of course, doesn’t care if we watch it or not. It will keep on being beautiful, even if no one bothers to look at it.

I was very fond of you, but now I’m so, so tired. I’m not happy to go, but one needn’t be happy to make another start.
