Optimism and Confidence

Optimism means expecting the best, but confidence means knowing how to handle the worst.

Your chances looked between slim and none. I guess i just kinda liked the look of those odds

— Alain de Botton

“Do you love me enough 
that I may be weak with you? 
Everyone loves strength, 
but do you love me 
for my weakness? 
That is the 
real test.”

The first step towards getting somewhere is deciding you are not going to stay where you are.

Missing someone isn’t about how long it has been since you’ve seen them or the amount of time since you’ve talked.


“Missing someone isn’t about how long it has been since you’ve seen them or the amount of time since you’ve talked. It’s about that very moment when you’re doing something and wishing they were right there with you.”

The bad can be found in anything.

It is so much easier to find than the good.

Scarred heart
Burnt heart
Hollow heart
Rid of all promises,

Healed my heart
Helped my heart
Filled my heart
With all of his sweet promises,

Hopeful heart
Happy heart
Loved heart
Survived on those promises,

But beating heart
Tainted heart
Hurt his heart
Broken promises,

Regretful heart
Reformed heart
The same heart
Kept remaining promises,

His tainted heart
His harmed heart
His mistrusted heart
Left empty promises,

Hollow mind
Hollow soul
Hollow heart
For which his hollow promises,

Left me shattered in pieces.
