“I’m often silent when I’m screaming inside.”

And it isn't that I'm so unhappy I don't want to live anymore. That's not what it feels like. It feels more like I'm tired and bored and the party's gone on too long and I want to go home. I feel flat and there doesn't seem to be anything to look forward to, so I'd rather call it a day.

"I'm not lazy, I'm just tired. and I don't mean because I've been working hard. Not at all. I'm tired from forcing myself to get out of bed everyday. I'm tired of distracting myself from the thoughts in my brain. I'm tired because all my energy is put to surviving and people don't understand that because all they see is how unproductive you are."

“I break my own heart by expecting people to be as attached to me as I am to them.”

“If you feel exhausted after being with a group of people then maybe you are meant to be with one person at a time. Maybe you’re the kind of someone who truly listens when a person is broken, hopeless, and needs a little bit of kindness in their life. Maybe you’re the kind of someone who likes talking about philosophy, aliens or the meaning of the universe at 3 am, and there’s a person out there who likes having those conversations too. Maybe you’re the kind of someone who naturally cultivates a person’s belief when you gently remind them that their own ideas for the betterment of their life are not crazy but are beautiful, wonderful, and amazing. Maybe you’re the kind of someone who helps people leave this world much better than they once found it, and that in itself is a remarkable way to exist.”

“When a toxic person can no longer control you, they will try to control how others see you. This misinformation will feel unfair, but stay above it, trusting that other people will eventually see the truth - just like you did.”

“I’ve saved them, when will they save me?”

"It's the middle of the night and I started to breakdown, overthinking about everything and all I wanted was someone to be there for me and hold me tight while I cried my eyes out."
