make sure people really care about you before you go out expressing your loyalty to them. some people love what you do for them, not you.

You are shaking fists & trembling teeth. I know: You did not mean to be cruel. That does not mean you were kind.

Let it die. Let there be a new beginning. It’s awful. Goodnight.

“I will no longer mutilate and destroy myself in order to find a secret behind the ruins.”

I miss the you that made the world seem more enchanting and the storm less overwhelming.

My regrets like to hang ever so neatly in a closet I refuse to open to outsiders.

Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenges, wish for more wisdom. The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become. Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.

AND DON’T

we think we can change people. we see something broken and we want to put it back together, but instead we end up cutting ourselves with their broken pieces.

Someone who wants the best for you is what’s best for you.

Some people come into your life just to teach you how to let go.

The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.
