Looking for Happiness

“How nice — to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive.”

“I find the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead, help them reveal the greatest version of themselves.”

“I wouldn’t intentionally hurt anyone in this whole world. I wouldn’t hurt them physically or emotionally, how then can people so consistently do it to me?…I guess I’ll never measure up to anyone’s expectations. I surely don’t measure up to what I’d like to be.”

“Morirò. Non sentirò più le angosce che mi corrodono. Non sarò più preda dell'ansia inquieta che non mi lascia pace e che non si spegne mai. Chi mi ha creato è morto. Quando non ci sarò più, perfino il ricordo di noi due svanirà. Non vedrò più il sole e le stelle, né sentirò il vento scherzare sulle mie gote. Luce, passioni, sensazioni: sparirà tutto. Nel nulla troverò la mia felicità”

“Broken hearts healed. Maybe the cracks were always there, like thin scars, but they healed. People lived and worked, laughed and ate, walked and talked with those cracks. For many, even the scars healed and they loved again.”

“We’re all scared most of the time. Life would be lifeless if we weren’t. Be scared, and then jump into that fear. Again and again. Just remember to hold on to yourself while you do it.”
