Bits of Life

“I am homesick for a place I am not sure even exists. One where my heart is full. My body loved. And my soul understood.”

“Always defend your right to heal at your own pace. You are taking your time. You are allowed to take your time.”

“Not everything is supposed to become something beautiful and long-lasting. Sometimes people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself, to make you feel better for a little while, or to just be someone to walk with at night and spill your life to. Not everyone is going to stay forever, and we still have to keep on going and thank them for what they’ve given us.”

“Deep in my heart I know I am a loner. I’ve tried to blend in with the world and be sociable, but the more people I meet the more disappointed I am. So I’ve learned to enjoy myself, my family, and a few good friends.”

On days when surviving seems like the toughest challenge in the world, take a breath. Focus on simply getting out of bed. Start there. Brush your teeth. Make yourself some breakfast. Break down the challenge into little victories.
