— The Smiths, “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now”

Why do I give valuable time to people who don’t care if I live or die?

power over you

Don’t give people so much power over you that their silence leaves you questioning your worth.

The Human

“We have calcium in our bones, iron in our veins, carbon in our souls, and nitrogen in our brains. 93 percent stardust, with souls made of flames, we are all just stars that have people names.”

you are not obligated to

• be someone’s counsellor and help them with all their problems if its bad for your mental health
• be there for someone 24/7
• remain friends with someone who emotionally drains you
• maintain negative relationships because you’ve been close for so long, because you’re related, or anything else
• do anything that makes you unhappy or puts your health at risk

be strong, be brave.

be strong, be brave. accept that some days will be harder than others. there will be days filled with tummy aches and heartaches and headaches. there will be days when things don’t go as planned. YOU will get through these days the best you can. just keep your chin up and your eyes focused on where you are going. believe in yourself, and dont ever let other people bring you down.

just a memory

One day, you'll be just a memory for some people. Do your best to be a good one.

— Rachel Dawson

“Letting go of her yesterday
Was harder than it seemed
She harboured millions of memories
Never to be redeemed.
Everyone around lived in their past
Wearing masks
Previously cast.

You’re not number one
If you happened to win the game yesterday.
You’re not rich
If you hoard all the worlds riches.
You’re not happy
With all your dreams achieved.

She pondered on the illusion
Of what she thought life would be.

Life must be lived each day
Not based on your yesterday.
With a heavy gulp,
She swallowed down the pain;
Never to be remembered again.”

"When you’re in a garden, which flowers do you pick?"

“

"Mom, why do the best people die?"

"When you’re in a garden, which flowers do you pick?"

"The most beautiful ones."

to be strong

“Some people think that to be strong is to never feel pain. In reality the strongest people are the ones who feel it, understand it, accept and learn from it.”

“If I’ve learnt anything in 2014,

“If I’ve learnt anything in 2014, it’s that you should tell people how important they are to you. Not because they could leave at any moment, but because they’re here now, and it’s worth saying something.”

- Malcolm X

"Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today."

He kissed her cheek

“He kissed her cheek and then she knew, you could get homesick for people too.”

― Beginners (2010)

"You can stay in the same place and still find ways to leave people."

— Lauren Oliver, Delirium

“I guess that’s just part of loving people:

 You have to give things up. Sometimes you

 even have to give them up.”

Here’s to the

Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

— Elizabeth Gilbert

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.”

It is during the worst times of your life

It is during the worst times of your life 

that you will get to see the true colors of the people 

who say they care for you…

— Robin Williams

I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy
because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless
and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that.

— Johnny Depp

“I suppose nowadays it’s all a question of surgery, isn’t it? Of course the notion is beautiful, the idea of staying a boy and a child forever, and I think you can. I have known plenty of people who, in their later years, had the energy of children and the kind of curiosity and fascination with things like little children. I think we can keep that, and I think it’s important to keep that part of staying young. But I also think it’s great fun growing old.”
