The only person you need to prove yourself to is the one standing in the mirror every morning.

You are the only person you need to be good enough for.

You can't spend your whole life holding the door open for people and then being angry when they don't thank you. Nobody asked you to hold the fucking door.

...It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

Don't waste your life on the stepping stones.

Никогда не знаешь, где тебе повезёт.

Everything works out in the end, even badly.

I don't wanna be heard
I want to be listened to.

I find damaged people beautiful. I find scarred people intriguing. I find broken people inspiring. After all, they’ve been through hell, and they’re still alive to tell us about it.

Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.

В то время как кто-то сидит и изводит себя мыслями вроде "меня никто не любит", "я никому не нужен", его сердце совершает 17-тысячный удар за последние сутки и имеет полное право обидеться и почувствовать себя оскорблённым.

Be a warrior not a worrier.

A shadow broke the circle and a stranger took my hand.
And placed one palm in the ocean and the other in the sand.
A cold, dead planet raced between a dancing moon and sun.
Kaleidoscopes of consciousness they flicker then are gone.
You pretty little people just the wood the fire burns.
As ashes are to ashes, so to dust we shall return.

struggling does not mean you’re failing. falling apart every now and then does not mean you’re broken and can’t put yourself back together again. not seeing a way out this very moment does not mean there isn’t one.
you can do this. please hold on.

life is way too short to be spent at war with yourself
