My mother said the cure for thinking too much about yourself was helping somebody who was worse off than you.

I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.

five things to do when you finally find yourself in a place you can call home: 1) drink lots of water, remember that you deserve to take care of yourself 2) leave your books on the kitchen counter, let your cat soak in the morning sunlight, stop erasing your existence from the spaces in which you occupy 3) have dinners with friends, it doesn’t matter much what you eat but that you’re laughing with your whole body, you aren’t afraid to speak up and make noise 4) begin painting again, respect your passions, indulge in what makes your heart race not because you’ve earned it but because you have a right to be happy 5) exist without fear

Love is not rare. Unconditional love is.
