“It’s okay to feel fucked up. It’s okay to feel lost. It’s okay not living unto others expectations.”

When your life standard comes down from being happy to just survive through the day.

I rather fall in love over and over again and get hurt all over again than feeling dead inside.

He reminded me of all the things I always wanted that I had just forgotten.

The things that made me feel dead, made me feel alive again.

When I love, I love hard. It almost killed me the first time.

Choosing myself, knowing I’ll be fine.

I prefer to suffer alone because then I can’t hurt anyone.

Don’t feed yourself up with personal growth tips when you are not ready for it.

The only person that needs to believe in you, is you.

Write clean and dirty.

Healing is important but that does not mean your life has to stop.

I’ve never been so lost and it feels like I’m drowning.

Swallowing pills that aren’t made for my soul.

Living with scars caused by self harm is not a shame.

The things that made me feel dead, made me feel alive again.

Seeing yourself through the eyes of others makes it easier to love yourself.

Death is as unexpected in his caprice as a courtesan in her disdain; but death is truer – Death has never forsaken any man.

Objects we ardently pursue bring little happiness when gained; most of our pleasures come from unexpected sources.

We are imperfect. We cannot expect perfect government.

I feel terrible for a Palestinian child who dies. But, if it’s your father, your brother or your uncle who was firing those rockets into Israel, whose fault is it really? Do you really expect the Israelis not to retaliate?

I would have been very happy just cruising around and enjoying the unexpected. I’ve never been ambitious.

I’ve never had high expectations of my work and I certainly am not going to let that plague my thoughts. I’m just going to continue to choose what feels right for me at the time and go with it.

This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected–in so far as it could be a matter of conscious awareness; it took entire possession of him, and he understood, with joyous amazement, that this was for life.

After the modest success of my first film, I found it very daunting to have to live with that kind of burden of expectations.
