My Mirror

“I am homesick for a place I am not sure even exists. One where my heart is full. My body loved. And my soul understood.”

“However, I’ve learned that the heart can’t be told when and who and how it should love. The heart does whatever the hell it wants to do. The only thing we can control is whether we give our lives and our minds the chance to catch up to our hearts.”

“I want to look back and say that I was alive. That I didn’t turn my back. That I tried. That I was happy.”

“That’s the thing about introverts; we wear our chaos in the inside where no one can see it.”

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.”

“Everything’s a risk. Not doing anything is a risk. It’s up to you.”

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who are alive.”

“Be with someone who will take care of you. Not materialistically, but take care of your soul, your well being, your heart.”

“Never make fun of someone’s passion because that’s the thing that saves them from the world.”

“Just being there for someone can sometimes bring hope when all seems hopeless.”

“To love a person is to see all of their magic, and to remind them of it when they have forgotten.”

“I don’t pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me. Love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person. Love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of. Love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.”

“Fall in love with someone who’s comfortable with your silence. Find someone who doesn’t need your words to know it’s time to kiss you.”

“Superpowers you can have: - Ability to change yourself & your mind - Not taking things personally - Not needing to prove you’re right - Careful selection of all relationships - Staying calm - Being alone without being lonely - Being ok being uncomfortable - Thinking for oneself”
