If they want to go, let them. You don’t need anyone who doesn’t need you.

-

Remind yourself that you don’t have to do what everyone else is doing.

-

That’s what careless words do. They make people love you a little less.

-

Once you lose someone it is never exactly the same person who comes back.

"Humans have a tendency to wait. We seem to enjoy it. We believe that if we wait for something, it will make it more worthwhile. But that’s not true. If you wait for it, whatever it may be, you might lose it. The truth is, you probably will. For example, if you wait to ask someone out on a date, they’ll find the invitation somewhere else. And that will be it. Don’t wait, for anything. Search. Discover. Make. Do. Just don’t wait. You’re going to miss out on so much."

-

"I remained too much inside my head and ended up losing my mind."

-

The deepest people are the ones that have been hurt the most.

-

Not all scars show. Not all wounds heal. Sometimes you can't always see the pain someone feels.

-

I had enough disappointments in life. Too many to count, too painful to remember.

-

It frustrates me that I have all these words inside of me that you will never get to hear.

-

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts and made up of our thoughts. If a man speak or act with an evil thought, suffering follows him as the wheel follows the hoof of the beast that draws the wagon…. If a man speak or act with a good thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves him."

-

"Don’t depend too much on anyone in this world because even your own shadow leaves you when you are in darkness."

-

"You can’t always be nice. That’s how people take advantage of you. Sometimes you have to set boundaries."

-

"The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because it’s only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think, the way they see themselves, the way they see the world — you can change the way people live their lives. That’s the only lasting thing you can create."

-

"I’m still depressed, but how depressed I am varies, which is good. Much of the time, it’s a comfortable numbness that just makes things feel muted. Other times, I’m standing in the shower or something and I can feel the nothingness hurtling toward me at eight thousand miles per hour and there’s nothing I can really do aside from let it happen and wait until it goes away again."

-

I keep a lot to myself. Thinking a million things while speaking ten things.

-

It made me wonder how many times we forgive just because we don’t want to lose someone, even if they don’t deserve our forgiveness

-

I am overflowing with words I do not have.

-

This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don’t get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can’t do anything, don’t get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it’s ready to come undone. You have to figure it’s going to be a long process and that you’ll work on things slowly, one at a time.
