everyone: “but youre doing so well in school”

Don’t mistake silence for weakness. Smart people don’t plan big moves out loud.

I’m homesick all the time … I just don’t know where home is. There’s this promise of happiness out there. I know it. I even feel it sometimes. But it’s like chasing the moon - just when I think I have it, it disappears into the horizon.

When people don’t express themselves, they die one piece at a time. You’d be shocked at how many adults are really dead inside-walking through their days with no idea who they are.

Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress; working hard for something we love is called passion.

Me: I want to travel

You only lose what you cling to.

If it has to be forced, it usually ends up being ugly. Whatever it is, allow it to manifest and unfold spontaneously, naturally.
