“There are things we don’t want to happen but have to accept; things we don’t want to know but have to learn; and people we can’t live without but have to let go.”

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

“Don’t wait too long. Life takes unexpected turns, and we don’t always have the time we think we have.”

“I like it when it rains hard. It sounds like white noise everywhere, which is like silence but not empty.”

“Sometimes you wonder, someday you will understand.”

“I have this strange feeling that I’m not myself anymore. It’s hard to put into words, but I guess it’s like I was fast asleep, and someone came, disassembled me, and hurriedly put me back together again. That sort of feeling.”

“Do you realize how important it is to be independent? To be able to take care of yourself? To not rely on someone else for your most basic needs? And to not get so damn attached to stuff that you’d rather demean yourself than live without it?”

“How do you move on? You move on when your heart finally understands that there is no turning back.”

“Honesty is a very expensive gift, Don’t expect it from cheap people.”

“I wanted nothing more than to feel something, but I didn’t know how to deal with what came after the feeling.”

“With a broken heart, a lost soul, and sad eyes, you are the wisest person in that moment because you know how much some things hurt and just how hard you can fall.”

“I’m going to tell you something: thoughts are never honest. Emotions are.”

“I’m not totally mad at you. I’m just sad. You’re all locked up in that little world of yours, and when I try knocking on the door, you just sort of look up for a second and go right back inside.”

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

“The worst thing in the world can happen, but the next day the sun will come up. And you will eat your toast. And you will drink your tea.”

“You plant your own garden instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. In other words, take responsibility for your own needs and your own happiness.”

“One of the most expensive things you could ever do is pay attention to the wrong people.”
