She fell, she hurt, she felt. She lived. And for all the tumble of her experiences, she still had hope. Maybe this next time would do the trick. Or maybe not. But unless you stepped into the game, you would never know.

Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

The only two important things in life are real love and being at peace with yourself.

Happiness Is A Debt You Owe To Yourself

Stop. You are not what you think you are. You are a cliche dressed in yesterday’s clothes. You are not original. Just a copy of a copy that came a tad too late.

This. This is not your world. You try too hard in a place where you don’t belong, and you expect to come out on top. Such a foolish thought! A fish out of water is what you are—running a race on wet fins and failing gills. In the end, you will only reek of the stench of frustration and disappointment.

Now. All things will fall apart. All will be lost if you don’t decide to move now. You will tire of keeping up, and people will see you for what you truly are. This charade that you put up will slowly crack and crumble, leaving you with a pile of worthless rubble.

Take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Where are you headed, really? Do not be caged in other people’s expectations. There is no greater woe than to be stuck in a mold you can’t fill.

Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.

It’s been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.

The only one you need in your life is that person who shows you he needs you in his.

Relax. You will become an adult. You will figure out your career. You will find someone who loves you. You have a whole lifetime; time takes time. The only way to fail at life is to abstain.
