Tainted

Sometimes I feel so small and insignificant, like I have no place or purpose on this giant spinning ball. I feel as though I am one pixel out of billions on some large screen I cannot see and that if I were to flicker out, no one would notice and the image would continue to look just the same. But then I see the way you look at me – as though I am somebody special. Like the only thing you see on that whole screen is me and in that moment I know that I am important to you. I may not understand my tiny place in the bigger picture…. but I know when I look into your eyes that I am an irreplaceable part of it. I know without question that I am loved and that if I were to flicker out of existence, one persons view of it would be irreversibly altered forever. You are my reason to keep shining.

I believe in a relationship, if you’re not constantly making each other a better person, then you’re hindering each other’s growth.

It’s not that easy, you know? Pretending I don’t care about him. Actually it’s really hard, because he’s all I want and he’s all I can think about.

What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven’t happened yet.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

If you want to succeed in your life, remember this phrase: The past does not equal the future. Because you failed yesterday; or all day today; or a moment ago; or for the last six months; the last sixteen years; or the last fifty years of life, doesn’t mean anything. All that matters is: What are you going to do, right now?
