I'm slowly fading away

“I’d much rather have one great person to talk to every night than have several pointless conversations with temporary people.”

“Some people are born with tornados in their lives, but constellations in their eyes. Other people are born with stars at their feet, but their souls are lost at sea.”

“You were once wild. Don’t let them tame you.”

“I feel unspeakably lonely. And I feel - drained. It is a blank state of mind and soul I cannot describe to you as I think it would not make any difference. Also it is a very private feeling I have - that of melting into a perpetual nervous breakdown. I am often questioning myself what I further want to do, who I further wish to be; which parts of me, exactly, are still functioning properly. No answers, darling. At all.”

“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”

“You have to find the right distance between people. Too close, and they overwhelm you, too far and they abandon you.”

“You can’t just switch off your feelings because the other person did.”

“People don’t always want to be with people. It gets tiring.”

“Take me as I am, or watch me as I go.”

“Never define yourself by your relationship status, your income, or your looks. It’s your generosity, kindness, and compassion that counts.”

“Nothing’s changed. You’ll go home. You’ll be bored. You’ll be ignored. No one will listen to you, really listen to you. You’re too clever and too quiet for them to understand. They don’t even get your name right.”

“Nobody looks like what they really are on the inside. You don’t. I don’t. People are much more complicated than that. It’s true of everybody.”

“Shout out to everybody who’s trying to get their life together. Working on yourself is the hardest part of life. The rest comes after.”

“Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tiptoe if you must, but take a step.”
