in my mind

When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.

It’s hard to let go. Even when what you’re holding onto is full of thorns, it’s hard to let go. Maybe especially then.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

How long is forever? Sometimes, just one second.

We often want it so badly that we ruin it before it begins. Overthinking. Fantasizing. Imagining. Expecting. Worrying. Doubting. Just let it naturally evolve.

Stop chasing what’s already gone.

I am not changing. 
I am becoming my true self.

Let it go and move on.

All those years when I was hurting deeply all I ever said was ‘I am fine.’

“ Be thankful for all the struggles you go through. They make you stronger, wiser, and humble. Don’t let it break you, let it make you. ”

My favorite hello; my painful goodbye.

“ People are quick to judge, yet hate to be judged. ”

It sucks that we miss people like that. You think you’ve accepted that someone is out of your life, that you’ve grieved and it’s over, and then bam. One little thing, and you feel like you’ve lost that person all over again.

Sometimes we aren’t afraid of the dark, we are afraid of what’s in it. We aren’t afraid to love, we are afraid of not being loved back. We aren’t afraid of letting go, we are afraid of accepting the reality that they’re gone. Sometimes, we aren’t afraid to try again, we are afraid of making the same mistakes.

Sometimes you have to force yourself to remember awful things so you don’t go forgiving someone who broke you.

If you’re reading this and you’re not happy right now, you will be. I don’t know what you’re going through. Everyone has their own type of darkness that they’re trying to make sense of, but no matter how dark it gets, you’ll do it. Things will get better, you will get better. Life will become brighter, and you’ll look back on days like these when you couldn’t look forward to the next hour, let alone the next day. When you do, you’ll smile, maybe even laugh, and it’ll hit you. You turned out just fine.
