Ad maiora.

“You are going to live a good and long life filled with great and terrible moments that you cannot even imagine yet.”

“She loves deeply regardless of the love she gets back in return, and it is both her biggest strength, and her biggest weakness.”

“Whatever comes, let it come. What stays, let it stay. What goes, let it go.”

“It’s a dark place, not knowing. It’s difficult to surrender to. But I guess it’s where we live most of the time. I guess it’s where we all live, so maybe it doesn’t have to be so lonely. Maybe I can settle into it, cozy up to it, make a home inside uncertainty.”

“Some things in life are out of your control. You can make it a party or a tragedy.”

“So please ask yourself: What would I do if I weren’t afraid? And then go do it.”

“The saddest kind of sad is the sad that tries not to be sad. You know, when sad tries to bite its lip and not cry, and smile and say, “No I’m happy for you”? That’s when it’s really sad.”

“You are not just here to fill space or be a background character in someone else’s movie. Consider this: nothing would be the same if you did not exist. Every place you have ever been and everyone you have ever spoken to would be different without you. We are all connected, and we are all affected by the decisions and even the existence of those around us.”

“Much of our life is spent wishing others understood us better than they do.”

“They asked me for drugs, so I told them about your smile.”

“Let them judge you. Let them misunderstand you. Let them gossip about you. Their opinions aren’t your problems. You stay kind, committed to love and free in your authenticity. No matter what they do or say, don’t you doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth. Just keep shining like you always do.”

“You intoxicated me. It was just as though you were making me love you by some invisible force.”
