I like cancelled plans. And empty bookstores. I like rainy days. And thunderstorms. And quiet coffee shops. I like messy beds and over-worn pajamas. Most of all, I like the small joys that a simple life brings.

I don’t trust words anymore. I only trust actions. People can pretend to do a lot without beeing serious about it.

Moritz Fer

Everyone needs at least one friend who understands what we do not say.

Don’t be afraid to lose people. Be afraid of losing yourself by trying to please everyone around you.

As you are shifting, you will begin to realize that you are not the same person you used to be. The things you used to tolerate have now become intolerable. Where you once battled and argued, you are now choosing to remain silent. You are beginning to understand the value of your voice and there are some situations that no longer deserve your time, energy, and focus.

I am thankful for nights that turned into mornings, friends that turned into family, and dreams that turned into reality.

True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.

Seneca

Do your future self a favor and work hard now.

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

You can love someone, forgive them, let them go, and never want to see them again.

It's been a long time since I've been me.

Fernando Pessoa

I promise I shall never give up, and that I'll die yelling and laughing.

Jack Kerouac

One of the hardest lessons in life is letting go. Whether it’s guilt, love, anger, loss or betrayal, change is never easy. We fight to hold on and we fight to let go.

Sometimes you need to distance yourself and create alone time so you can really discover what you want out of life.

If you planted hope today in a heart that felt alone, if you caused a laugh that chased some tears away, if someone’s burden was made lighter because of your kindness, then your day was well spent.
