Quotations of Your life

It’s so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there, because it’s not sadness. I know sadness. Sadness is to cry and to feel. But it’s that cold absence of feeling— that really hollowed-out feeling.

You know what my dad always says? That love is when all your happiness and all your sadness and all your feelings are dependent upon another person. So I guess I love you

I learn a good deal by merely observing you, And letting you talk as long as you please, And taking note of what you do not say.

You wish you could’ve learned to play piano. You wish you could’ve started drawing when you were young. You wish you could’ve figured out who you wanted to be before you graduated college. You wish you could’ve learned to love yourself sooner. Well you know what? You didn’t. And that’s just something you’re going to have to learn to deal with. But just because you didn’t do it sooner, doesn’t mean you can’t start now.

I tried to write about you, a name that hasn’t been written down in months, but I couldn’t even write about you. There is nothing else I can say about you, nothing else worth my tears. A year ago I confessed how I felt about you, a year ago I would’ve done anything for a minute of your time. A year has passed and we’re complete strangers again. I guess that’s how it was meant to be, some people are meant to be temporary, and no matter how hard I tried to avoid it, you were one of them.

I learned the hard way that not everybody is sugar coated and nice. Some people are hard as stone and cold as ice. Including some of the ones you give up your heart to.

Maybe our old wounds teach us something. They remind us where we’ve been and what we’ve overcome. They teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. That’s what we like to think. But that’s not the way it is, is it? Some things we just have to learn over and over again.

Be proud of who you are, and not ashamed of how someone else sees you.

Be proud of who you are, and not ashamed of how someone else sees you.

Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.

Sometimes, you feel like sinking without ever drowning. You’re just laying there. still. Holding your breath, and clinching your knees. Waiting, for it all to pass…

I take a lot of comfort in knowing no one knows me completely.

Life had taught her that people don’t care much for other people’s sadness, so she learned to weave her sorrow into her smile and to shroud the pain in her eyes with a gleam of mischief.
