I think, being an average and not so good looking person, you tend to be more sensitive about other people's needs and feelings because you have been through people not being able to meet your needs all your life and you know how it feels to be left unwanted every single time you express your emotions.

Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.

“I was music but you had your ears cut off.”

“Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of the lives I’m not living.”

“I have done nothing all summer but wait for myself to be myself again —”

“Today, I am grateful for the beauty of being human and for the ability to express what I feel through smiles and tears and warm hugs. Today, I am grateful for the rising of the sun and the light that seeps in the broken parts of my soul that reminds me that I can be healed. Today, I am grateful for the sight of trees, the smell of flowers and the touch of everything that carries love and grace that makes the world a safe place to exist. Today, I am grateful for being gentle with my pain that teaches me that there is so much growth to be found in accepting where I am now & loving my way towards where I want to be.”
