Deep thoughts

I sit down, mind filled with swirling thoughts, trying to regain the sense of calmness. I breathe softly as I’ve finally settled, quickly finding myself searching ways for improvement. I remind myself that no corner of me can be left ignored while doing so. Before I know it, evaluation begets validation, and I’m going off into how terrible and worthless I am. When I get to my feet again, only then do I realize how much time I’ve spent so focused on my faults, and that I’ve degraded myself down to dust without any recognition for what I had learned from them.

Too often I find myself going out of my way to please those around me... many who do not and will not give a damn about me.

Why is it that I write my best when I’m at my worst?

broken hearts

are you initials EG?

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

To whoever it concerns

“... The human heart beats approximately 4,000 times per hour and each pulse, each throb, each palpitation is a trophy engraved with the words, ‘You are still alive.’”

Knowing that there are so many amazing people who are currently with someone who does not appreciate them for what they're worth is heartbreaking.

I can't find it... I think I've lost that special place I go to when I want to forget the rest of the world.

Does it take time for you to think about creating a quote or does it just come to you naturally?
