“i’m not asking you to save me. i’m asking you to stand beside me while i save myself.”

“Yesterday, I was crying because I didn’t see hope in my life, and I felt like I needed to end it all. Today, I am praising the sunshine because I was broken, and now I see my hope growing some tiny flowers. Tomorrow, I will water them with my love and trust that they will survive any storm because they have to blossom despite of it.”

“The kindest words touch me like sunlight in my saddest days, and it dances with my sorrow after years they’ve been said. To everyone who offered me words of kindness in my life: Thank you. I am a better man because of it.”

“Some days healing is for laughter, playfulness, and friends. Some days healing is for silence, rest and solitude. Some days healing is for accepting that getting better doesn’t always look the same, and that’s okay.”

Breathe. It's okay. You're going to be okay. Just breathe. Breathe, and remind yourself of all the times in the past you felt this scared. All of the times you felt this anxious and this overwhelmed. All of the times you felt this level of pain. And remind yourself how each time, you made it through. Life has thrown so much at you, and despite how difficult things have been, you've survived. Breathe and trust that you can survive this too. Trust that this struggle is part of the process. And trust that as long as you don't give up and keep pushing forward, no matter how hopeless things seem, you will make it.

“Don’t chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing, and love people. The right people - the ones who really belong in your life - will come to you, and stay.”

“The problem with people is they forget that most of the time it’s the small things that count.”

“Finding someone you can really connect with is like winning the lottery — It happens basically never, but if it does, you really shouldn’t blow it.”

“you are not a bad person for having to make a change in the people you are surrounded by in order to grow into the kind, loving person you are destined to be”

“I no longer have the energy for meaningless friendships, forced interactions or unnecessary conversations.”

you are the most permanent thing in your life. always. that won’t change. ever. so put you first. prioritize you. choose you. you, you, you. your needs, your wants, your dreams, your feelings, your happiness, your peace. never sacrifice any of that, and do not spend your entire life treating people who might be temporary better than you treat yourself.

“The trouble with crossed wires is you don’t know they happened until it’s too late so we have to be very careful with our connections. They take time, care and attention. They take vigilance and single-mindedness. We re-connect everything that we can as carefully as we can and then we just have to pray to God that we got it right.”

“You are not allowed to quit. You may only quit after you have done it to the best of your ability, and decided to. Otherwise, it’s not quitting, it’s failing.”

“Don’t let what he wants eclipse what you need. He’s very dreamy, but he’s not the sun. You are.”

“The worst mistake any girl can make is expect a boy to act like a man.”

“All I want is a connection in which I receive the same amount of effort as I put in. For once, I don’t want to be drained because I give my everything to someone who can’t even appreciate me.”
