“You don’t need to understand me to respect me.”

You cry and tell yourself to toughen up but what’s tougher than feeling?

I can’t take the look in your eyes of hurt I can’t help.

Sometimes you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel until you’ve learned how to live in the dark.

You loved me when it seemed impossible to love myself. I’ll never forget that. I’ll never unfeel that.

Help isn’t helpful for the unwilling.

I will dance under stars I can not see; and I will hold hands I can not yet reach.

Sometimes anger is a form of passion that isn’t being listened too.

If love was a sound, a mere whisper would suffice.

If possible could you just look in my eyes and find all the things I can’t seem to say.

I just need to let myself fall in love with myself.

I know what feeling I need to feel. I just can’t seem to find it.

Am I more afraid of failing or succeeding?

Anxiety clouds everything you know to be true.

There’s a kind of freedom in handing out torches and seeing who burns the bridge between you.

Memories can’t be remembered if they were never made. So I hope you make good ones.

I tried to write you as a novel but you were only meant to be a chapter.

We heap up around us things that we do not need as the crow makes piles of glittering pebbles.

Small changes often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold. The most powerful outcomes of any compounding process are delayed. You need to be patient.

I’m cool. I don’t need to be skinny. I like to be strong.

The world will try to tell you that you need stuff to be somebody. Don’t listen.

Other people need to be seen too. So be kind.

What if I told you everything was going to be okay – but what if in my own, soft heart, I really needed to hear it too?

You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need.

I think hype is a good thing. You need it and it’ll teach you valuable things and you’ll grow stronger, which is what I’ve done.
