Your bones are broken, just like that soul of yours. You cannot walk with broken bones; So darling, take a rest, sit down, now learn how to mend them.

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

I just need someone who won’t give up when loving me gets hard.

In my mind I am eloquent; I can climb intricate scaffolds of words to reach the highest cathedral ceilings and paint my thoughts. But when I open my mouth, it all collapses.

Look— Your hand is a star. Your blood is famous in your heart.

It was one of those awful moments where you have no control over your reaction, when the pain is too exposed to hide.

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

So, I close my heart to old ends and open my heart to new beginnings.

The thing about life is that you must survive. Life is going to be difficult, and dreadful things will happen. What you do is move along, get on with it, and be tough. Not in the sense of being mean to others, but being tough with yourself and making a deadly effort not to be defeated.

Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.
