- People learn at their own pace. Information is helpful to people growing, but try not to be on the attack. [Gerard Way]
- It may seem like working toward your goals is taking 4ever. DON'T give up now u might of be a step away from reaching them PUSH thru 100% [Missy Elliott]
- give your mind space to wander, let it stretch, let it breathe; when the time is right, it will come back bc home is where its truly free [Connor Franta]
- Life is too short to spend being sad or to worry or stress about something you can't change. [Patty Melt]
- You are a hurricane of a girl; / remember to breathe / every once and a while, / do not drown within your own storm.
- I’ve stopped being sorry for all my soft. I won’t apologize because I miss you, or because I said it, or because I text you first, or again. I think everyone spends too much time trying to close themselves off. I don’t want to be cool or indifferent, I want to be honest.
- Forget stardust—you are iron. Your blood is nothing but ferrous liquid. When you bleed, you reek of rust. It is iron that fills your heart and sits in your veins. And what is iron, really, unless it’s forged? You are iron. And you are strong.
- Did you ever realize how much your body loves you? I mean its always trying to keep you alive. That’s all your body has to live for. Your body is making sure you breathe while you sleep, stopping cuts from bleeding, fixing broken bones, finding ways to beat the illnesses that might get you. Your body literally loves you so much. It’s time you start loving your body back.
- Like wildflowers, you must allow yourself to grow in all the places people tought you never would.
- The breaking of a wave cannot explain the whole sea.
- Your body is made of the same elements that lionesses are built from. Three quarters of you is the same kind of water that beats rocks to rubble, wears stones away. Your DNA translates into the same twenty amino acids that wolf genes code for. When you look in the mirror and feel weak, remember, the air you breathe in fuels forest fires capable of destroying everything they touch. On the days you feel ugly, remember: diamonds are only carbon. You are so much more.
- There is a crack, a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.
- This year will take from me the hardened person who I longed to be. I am healing by mistake. Rome is also built on ruins.
- Don’t you dare, for one minute, believe that my kindness makes me anything but insurmountable. I did not unzip my chest to every kind of hurt, and stagger back, wounded and alive, just to hear you call me weak for trying.
- Not all those who wander are lost. [J. R. R. Tolkien]
- Your failures are okay, too. I used to really be very hard on myself if I thought I wasn't accomplishing something or reaching a certain level. Be with your failures. They're just as educational and just as opening to the process as the success is. It's ok to be where I am. I don't have to wake up tomorrow and be a pro. And I think that mentality has gone a long way for me in terms of just surrendering. To the moment, surrendering to where I am, and surrendering even in my failures. [Chris Evans]
- My therapist told me something meaningful yesterday, she said “It’s important to remember that when you’re depressed you have to nurse yourself and be extra gentile towards yourself. Just like an athlete wouldn’t break an ankle then force themselves to run that ankle. They rest as it heals and do not think “I am a failed athelete” they think, “right now something isn’t working so i’ll take care of myself until it does.“ Just like a broken bone, depression can change the way your daily life plays out, and pushing yourself too hard and getting frustrated when you don’t feel better is just like trying to run on that broken ankle and getting frustrated when it doesn’t heal. Read this. Then read it again. And then save it and read it over and over when you are depressed.
- Document the moments you feel most in love with yourself - what you’re wearing, who you’re around, what you’re doing. Recreate and repeat.
- Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.
- I don’t believe in recovered, / the sickness of past-tense, / removed from my life permanently. / I will always / wake up every morning, / say hello to my demons, / and walk right past them. / There is strength / in the daily fight. / It is in my shadow. (MICHELLE K., “I AM RECOVERED!)
- I am better than I was, I will be better than I am.
- Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.
- When feeling overhelmed by a faraway goal, repeat the following: I have it within me right now to get me where I want to be later.
- Keep your head up. Find what you love and do whatever you can to make it possible. Work harder than everyone else.
- If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat even when people think it's just grass.
- Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it. [Martin Luther King Jr.]
- Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't.
- During the third movement I made some mistakes, but I didn’t feel guilty about it because I felt I had done my best. We had a neighbor, a music lover, who said to my grandfather about my performance, ‘Oh, that was wonderful, but in the third movement something went wrong.’ My grandfather became very angry with him and said, ‘I don’t care, because the sun has spots, too.’ That was a beautiful thing for my grandfather to say, I think, and sometimes I remember that: Even the sun has spots.
- You are drowning yourself by overthinking everything. The next time you find yourself overthinking or beating yourself over something, picture something simple and put no thought into it. Look at the trees moving in the wind or take a moment to look at how beautiful this world is. This world is too beautiful for you to waste your time in unecessary thoughts that are just drowning you.
- My big ambition is to not have a big ambition. I know it's kind of strange but my goal in life is to practice trying to be present on a daily basis. I think, as people, our consciousness is spread out. We analyze the past, we worry about the future, and it's all fueled by fear and pain and all these negative things. Even when it's good it's going to not be good in a minute. Then you're chasing it again. It's all rooted in time and I think my big ambition is to really practice the ability to quiet my brain a little and just learn how to enjoy the moment. [Chris Evans.]
- The fact that sloths aren’t extinct somehow proves that if you go at your own pace and mind your own fuckin business you too can succeed.
- robot friend does not agree. 'failure' is inability to fulfill directive. human has no programmed directive. human evolutionary directive is to live. you are alive. everything else is bonus.
- calm down. deep breaths. and get yourself dressed instead of running around, and pulling on your threads, and breaking yourself up. if it's a broken part, replace it. if it's a broken arm, then brace it. if it's a broken heart, then face it. hold your own, know your name, and go your own way. and everything will be fine. everything in no time at all. everything.
- sometimes you're on the top of the world, stay humble. sometimes you've hit a low, stay hopeful.
- i will no longer mutilate and destroy myself in order to find a secret behind the ruins.
