A LITTLE FROG

“My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. To take pride in my thoughts, my appearance, my talents, my flaws and to stop this incessant worrying that I can’t be loved as I am.”

“When you complain you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it. All else is madness.”

“Do you ever miss yourself? The person you were before you had your first heartbreak or before you got betrayed by a person you trusted?”

“Look at yourself as a color. You may not be everybody’s favorite color but believe me, one day you will meet someone who needs you to complete this picture.”

“Remember, being yourself is the only way to find out who truly cares and loves you for you.”

“The people who are meant to be in your life will always gravitate back towards you, no matter how far they wander.”

“Some people won’t appreciate you no matter how much you do for them. Release yourself. Go where you’re appreciated and understood.”

“Life is about evolving. Don’t stay in a situation that’s not helping you grow mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.”

“Some questions are more complicated than their answers could be.”

“That was one of the saddest things about people - their most important thoughts and feelings often went unspoken and barely understood.”

“When other people treat you poorly keep being you. Don’t ever let someone else’s bitterness change the person you are.”

“The past is gone, don’t live in it”

“The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.”

There is a kind of sadness that comes from knowing too much, from seeing the world as it truly is. It is the sadness of understanding that life is not a grand adventure, but a series of small, insignificant moments, that love is not a fairy tale, but a fragile, fleeting emotion, that happiness is not a permanent state, but a rare, fleeting glimpse of something we can never hold onto. And in that understanding, there is a profound loneliness, a sense of being cut off from the world, from other people, from oneself.
