The Nothing Nothings

Love says: I’ve seen the ugly parts of you, and I’m staying.

I hide because there’s more to me than what you see and I’m not sure you’d like the rest. I know that sometimes, I don’t like the rest.

One of the most healing things you can do is recognize where in your life you are your own poison.

The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.

“After a traumatic experience, the human system of self-preservation seems to go onto permanent alert, as if the danger might return at any moment.”

“Millions of people have decided not to be sensitive. They have grown thick skins around themselves just to avoid being hurt by anybody. But it is at great cost. Nobody can hurt them, but nobody can make them happy either.”

“Lonely is not how you feel when you’re alone. Lonely is how you feel when nobody cares.”
