𝓖. 𝓟.

i made your favorite.   

i’ll be right here when you’re ready to talk. 

hey there, you gave me quite a scare. 

you’re warm. are you feeling okay?

you got a little something on your face. 

shh, shh. you’re sick. accidents happen.

would a hug make it better?

watch the attitude.

don’t you know how much i love you?

you’ll always be my kid. nothing will change that.

come over here and give me a hug.

you’ll always be my family. nothing will change that.

this is how you tie a tie. 

you are enough. 

i love you. don’t forget that.

nice try, but i know you’re awake.

it’s amazing! i’m so proud of you.

you’re grounded.

pinky promise?

don’t say that about yourself.

you were so brave.

everything okay? you were talking in your sleep.

go to your room.

please tell me what’s bothering you.

it’s way past your bedtime.  

honey, it’s important to tell me these things. 

you come up with the best ideas.

we’re out of (food / drink item). 

you’re sick. you need to stay in bed. 

you were exhausted. i had to carry you to bed. 

is that a flashlight under your pillow?

slow down. start from the beginning.

is this movie too scary for you?

that wasn’t very nice.

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.

believe in yourself, you are braver than you think.

what could be worse than getting to the end of your life and realizing you hadn't lived it?

i discovered life sometimes has a way of giving you what you need, but not in the form you expect.

people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

no matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.

listen to your instincts and ignore everything else; ignore logic, ignore the odds, ignore the complications, and just go for it.

don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind, be led by the dreams in your heart.

we've got everything we need right here, and everything we need is enough.

only the dead have seen the end of war.

instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.

sometimes it takes a good fall to really know where you stand.

happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them.

pain is a sudden hurt that can't be escaped.

the trouble is if you don’t spend your life yourself, other people spend it for you.

hiding how you really feel and trying to make everyone happy doesn't make you nice, it just makes you a liar.

sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones your soul needs most.

we cannot change anything if we cannot change our thinking.

if there's a single lesson that life teaches us, it's that wishing doesn't make it so.

the greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.

just like there's always time for pain, there's always time for healing.

you don’t have to like someone, but you have to treat them as you wish to be treated.

i've learned, that being kind is more important than being right.

you cannot control what happens to you, but you can control the way you think about all the events.

be wise today so you don't cry tomorrow.

people always suddenly miss you more once they see how much happier you are without them.

the moment you put someone on a pedestal they will look down upon you.

dignity will only happen when you realize that having someone in your life doesn’t validate your worth.

i learned long ago that loss is not only probable, but inevitable.

discipline yourself and others won't need to.

all your miseries will be forgiven when you will be dead.

you think you know someone, but mostly you just know what you want to know.

some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost.

nothing drives people crazier than seeing someone have a good fucking life.

it takes guts and humility to admit mistakes, admitting we're wrong is courage, not weakness.

i discovered that being related is no guarantee of love.

letting go of your dark past is the best choice you will ever make.

forgive but do not forget, or you will be hurt again—forgiving changes the perspectives, forgetting loses the lesson.

so it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.

you take people, you put them on a journey, you give them peril, you find out who they really are.

when you deny someone an apology, you will remember it at time you beg forgiveness.

if you want to grow, you need to be brave and take risks.

never respond to an angry person with a fiery comeback, even if they deserve it, don't allow his anger to become your anger.

there is nothing like a crisis to define who you are.

it is difficult to make the right choice if you fear choosing wrongly.

certain things in life simply have to be experienced and never explained.

forgiving doesn't make the person who hurt you feel better, it makes you feel better.

we can throw stones, complain about them, stumble on them, climb over them, or build with them.

you're always going to know more in the future than you know now.

i don't care what you say to me, i care what you share with me.

you can't have a sense of victory unless you know what it means to fail.

once you begin to take note of the things you are grateful for, you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack.

you've heard what i've done, but not what i've been through.

if you love deeply, you're going to get hurt badly, but it's still worth it.

life gives you lots of chances to screw up which means you have just as many chances to get it right.

in gambling, if you see somebody winning all the time, they aren't gambling, they're cheating.

you can’t save anyone who wouldn’t save themselves without you.

i realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can't ever be fixed.

if you don't want to sink, you better figure out how to swim.

make a pact with yourself today to not be defined by your past.

sometimes you have to lose all you have to find out who you truly are.

people tend to complicate their own lives, as if living weren't already complicated enough.

we have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter.

you are never alone.

there is no teacher more discriminating or transforming than loss.

sometimes the greatest thing to come out of all your hard work isn't what you get for it, but what you become for it.

you cannot control the behaviour of others, but you can always choose how you respond to it.

the only way that we can change is if we learn.
