Vincent Van Gogh used to eat yellow paint because he thought it would get the happiness inside him. Many people thought he was mad and stupid for doing so because the paint was toxic, never mind that it was obvious that eating paint couldn’t possibly have any direct correlation to one’s happiness, but I never saw that. If you were so unhappy that even the maddest ideas could possibly work, like painting the walls of your internal organs yellow, then you are going to do it. It’s really no different than falling in love or taking drugs. There is a greater risk of getting your heart broken or overdosing, but people still do it everyday because there was always that chance it could make things better. Everyone has their yellow paint.

It feels so right yet it seems so wrong to be with you.

Learn to be alone and to like it. There’s nothing more freeing and empowering than learning to like your own company.

“i don’t love him but he’s here and you aren’t”

When you choose to stay with someone who treats you badly, don’t use the excuse: “You can’t help who you love.” That’s bullshit. If you loved YOU, you wouldn’t put up with being treated badly. You would have the self-respect to demand better… or leave.

Draw a monster. Why is it a monster?
