“It has been said, ‘time heals all wounds.’ I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.”

““What hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is your candle.” - Rumi”

It’s not my responsibility to be beautiful. I’m not alive for that purpose. My existence is not about how desirable you find me.

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it was, and always will be yours. If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with.

To love your own sadness as if it were something more precious than gold is what it means to be a melancholic person. Melancholy is the intimate nature you have with your sorrow. Melancholy is the enlightenment you experience when it comes to being lost.

Don’t waste words on people who deserve your silence. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is nothing at all.

We mature with the damage, not with the years.

Good friends help you find important things when you have lost them… things like your smile, your hope and your courage.

I think hell is something you carry around with you. Not somewhere you go.
