If you never bleed you're never gonna grow

everything will fall into place and turn out so much better than you hoped or were terrified about. you’ll look back to wonder why you worried so much.

I say no worries a lot for someone who worries 101% of the time

you have made so much more progress than you realize. you will get past these bumps in the road, the bad days, the heartbreaks, and find you are stronger than you were before.

Do you ever get really thankful for all the books you’ve read? For all the worlds and stories and characters that have become a part of you? That there’s just this space of nostalgia inside you where you remember plots and twists, love stories and deaths, journeys you’ve taken between the spaces of a page and it just makes your heart swell. It’s part of why I love reading. You always get to carry pieces of those stories with you.
