Welcome to my mind.

“There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you, and there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.”

“But maybe being brave didn’t mean being unafraid.”

“A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for.”

“Only the dead have seen the end of war.”

“There are plenty of things in the world to be sad about. But a boy who doesn’t love you shouldn’t be one of them.”

“Listen to me. I’m shy. I’m not stupid. I can’t meet people’s eyes. I don’t know if you understand what that’s like. There’s a whole world going on around me, I’m aware of that. It’s not because I don’t want to look at you, Lucinda. It’s that I don’t want to be seen.”

“Nothing ever happens like you imagine it will. But then again, if you don’t imagine nothing ever happens at all.”

“Letting go of someone who owns your heart is hard. Sometimes holding on to that person is even harder.”

“Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.”

“If you see beauty in something, don’t wait for others to agree.”

“Never say goodbye because saying goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting.”

“One day you’ll laugh so much that you’ll forget you have scars.”

“I used to imagine adventures for myself, I invented a life, so that I could at least exits somehow.”

“Re-create yourselves: and let this be your best creation.”

“And she did not have to ask if this was right, no one had to tell her, because this could not have been more right or perfect.”

“Sometimes people put up walls, not only to keep people out, but also to see who cares enough to tear them down.”

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