love me lights out.

We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.

“Your ability to remain soft is not a weakness. Don’t let life harden your soul. There is strength and bravery in vulnerability.”

“Close some doors. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they no longer lead somewhere.”

“you are allowed to forgive yourself in parts. the past is too heavy to deal with all in one day, or one moment, or one phase. you are allowed to forgive yourself in parts until you feel whole again.”

“When I looked at you, my life made sense. Even the bad things made sense. They were necessary to make you possible.”
