I don't know, meow I guess

“If a person can’t get out of bed, something is making them exhausted. If a student isn’t writing papers, there’s some aspect of the assignment that they can’t do without help. If an employee misses deadlines constantly, something is making organization and deadline-meeting difficult. Even if a person is actively choosing to self-sabotage, there’s a reason for it — some fear they’re working through, some need not being met, a lack of self-esteem being expressed. People do not choose to fail or disappoint. No one wants to feel incapable, apathetic, or ineffective. If you look at a person’s action (or inaction) and see only laziness, you are missing key details. There is always an explanation. There are always barriers. Just because you can’t see them, or don’t view them as legitimate, doesn’t mean they’re not there. Look harder. Maybe you weren’t always able to look at human behavior this way. That’s okay. Now you are. Give it a try.”

“I know people who feel like they’ve wasted their lives because of poor choices. They’ve spent years in a relationship that was toxic, years with an addiction, years at a job that wasn’t fulfilling. But you have to realize nothing you have been through is ever wasted. Your past experiences - good and bad - have deposited something on the inside of you. Those challenges have sharpened you to help make you who you are today.”

“The mind I love must have wild places.”

““We’re constantly being told what other people think we are, and that’s why it is so important to know yourself.””
