- "whether you fall means nothing at all. it's whether you get up."
- the life you are now leading is a reflection of your thinking.
- allow new people to come into your life; you'll discover something spectacular.
- and let the old people go
- are you exhausted? NAP. especially if you’re going out that night, it’s not gonna kill you.
- coffee dates are more important than finishing that last page of unnecessary reading. you’ll get it done eventually, so enjoy the time you have with people first.
- i'd rather sleep my whole life away then have you keep me from dreaming.
- my hands are small i know but they're not yours they are my own and they're not yours they are my own and i am never broken
- there's lots of ways around not having that much money.
- you may have known someone for years and not thought you would never be friends and then discover you are more alike than you think.
- identity (thank god) is malleable.
- it’s a funny thing coming home. nothing changes. everything looks the same, feels the same, even smells the same. you realize what’s changed is you.
- don't mix seasonal people with lifetime people.
- you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. you can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead.
- those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life.
- the way i see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. the good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
- no matter how well you treat someone, it doesn't mean they'll treat you that same way.
- to become who others want you to be is to become no one at all.
- there always comes a time for departure, even if there is nowhere to go.

- you can’t let your fears hold you back. i did things i would have never done at home and wound up having the time of my life. “your greatest fears are dragons guarding your greatest treasures.”
- many of us are slaves to our minds. our own mind is our worst enemy. we try to focus, and our mind wanders off. we try to keep stress at bay, but anxiety keeps us awake at night. we try to be good to the people we love, but then we forget them and put ourselves first. and when we want to change our life, we dive into spiritual practice and expect quick results, only to lose focus after the honeymoon has worn off. we return to our state of bewilderment. we’re left feeling helpless and discouraged. it seems we all agree that training the body through exercise, diet, and relaxation is a good idea, but why don’t we think about training our minds?
- keep an open mind, only if but slightly closer than an open heart.
- “The less I needed, the better I felt.” — Charles Bukowski
- the most important is that all you really need is love. a heart with a capacity to love will always triumph over a love full of hatred, even though it's so much harder to love than to hate. everyone deserves to be treated with love and respect, regardless of where they're from or what they've done. and with a heart with the capacity to love, comes the ability to forgive and let go of sentiments of anger and sorrow. better to let go of grudges than to let those negative emotions fester within and overwhelm you.
