Le Dauphin Mandevil

“Now, every time I witness a strong person, I want to know: What darkness did you conquer in your story? Mountains do not rise without earthquakes.”

“And don’t you worry so much kid. You’ll get a lot of freedom as you grow old. You’ll go on adventures, meet a lot of good people, learn new stuff and unlearn your old ways. But by then your life will begin to possess infinite possibilities, and you’ll feel clueless as to where to start. That’s why you among with billions of people in this planet will look back at their childhood years and refer to them as to when “things felt simple” Because, in many ways, we as human beings secretly need limitations to prevent us from being lost. But sometimes, for most us, being lost can be a beautiful thing. Sometimes being lost is just a part of growing the fuck up.”

“Instead of saying ‘I’m damaged, I’m broken, I have trust issues’ say ‘I’m healing, I’m rediscovering myself, I’m starting over.’ Positive self-talk.”
