Study the hurtful patterns of your life. Then don’t repeat them.

Before I can tell my life what I want to do with it, I must listen to my life telling me who I am.

Don’t think of introversion as something that needs to be cured…Spend your free the way you like, not the way you think you’re supposed to.

There are two races on earth. Those who need others, who are distracted, occupied and refreshed by others, who are worried, exhausted and unnerved by solitude as by the ascension of a terrible glacier or the crossing of a desert; and those, on the other hand, who are wearied, bored, embarrassed, utterly fatigued by others, while isolation calms them, and the detachment and imaginative activity of their minds bathes them in peace.

We do not require company. In varying degrees, it bores us, drains us, makes our eyes glaze over. Overcomes us like a steamroller. Of course, the rest of the world doesn’t understand.

Perhaps you will fail, perhaps it will be useless, valueless in the end; but do not underestimate the value of the feeling that you tried your best.

Stop comparing where you’re at with where everyone else is. It doesn’t move you farther ahead, improve your situation, or help you find peace. It just feeds your shame, fuels your feelings of inadequacy, and ultimately, it keeps you stuck. The reality is that there is no one correct path in life. Everyone has their own unique journey.

You sometimes do stupid things in the hope of getting better.

Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.

I’ve been screaming for years and no one has ever heard me.

I used to think the years would go by in order, that you get older one year at a time. But it’s not like that. It happens overnight.

I’m caught between trying to live my life, and trying to run from it.

Love lasts about seven years. That’s how long it takes for the cells of the body to totally replace themselves.

my dear, we are all made of water. it’s okay to rage. sometimes it’s okay to rest. to recede.

Beware of the quiet kind people like me, we are filled with rage of being used so i might spit fire and turn with no regret if you do me wrong.

It’s a new day, fresh start, fresh energy, new opportunities. Get your mind right, be thankful, be positive and start your day right.

She was always an introvert, but at her core there had been something vital and alive, something that even she wasn’t totally aware of. That light, that radiance used to leak out by itself, emerging from between the cracks.
