#long quotes
Because everything changes. Nothing stays the same for long. The minute you’re used to something, the minute you think, “oh, this is how life is,” life finds a way of surprising you. You never know what life is gonna throw at you. And you have two choices: Run from it… or run at it.

“I don’t think I have the words to explain how much you mean to me. You’ve helped me more than any other person has ever in my entire life. The long walks to nowhere, the long nights of laughing at what seems like nothing and everything, the pep talks, the ego checks. I haven’t many people close, but I’m happy I let you in. You never fail to slap me in the face with reality when I need or deserve it, nor do you hesitate to give me a helping hand when it’s obvious that I can’t do it on my own. I don’t know what I’d do without you.
I love you”

“It’s okay.
Saving me was never your job anyway.”

It’s weird to think that in this very moment someone is lying alone in their deathbed, balancing between life and death or reuniting with an old lover, tightly wrapped in a warm embrace or writing a suicide note, pondering different ways to say goodbye, right in this moment someone’s heart is fluttering from a first kiss and someone’s is breaking from a goodbye.

“Do you ever get that feeling when you’re sitting in your room alone, your thoughts wander, you’re not crying but you just feel sad and empty, replaying moments from your life and wondering. Where did it all go wrong?”

“I already said too much. I already shared too much, and I want all my secrets back. I hate getting close to people these days, I always regret sharing too much, caring too much, doing too much, feeling too much.”
“The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.”
~ S. Maraboli
“If a woman loves you, she’ll love you with all of her heart. She’ll give you every drop of love inside her, even when she stops getting it back. She’ll wait for you to realize that, and she’ll endure all the pain without complaining. But, there’s a limit to all that, because when she’s done, she’ll empty herself of all the love there is in your name, and she’ll forgive you. She’ll forgive you because even when she’s in pain there is still so much love left inside of her for herself.”
Sometimes, people wonder who you really are.
They think they know you based on the things you choose to show them.
Like your photos, or your writing, or the way you are when you are with your friends, or your job, or with someone you love.
People will assume they can see right through you, that they know you better than you know yourself.
But you laugh, and think, “how can they?”
Your friend won’t know you as a lover.
A stranger won’t treat you as a sister.
A boss won’t see you as a follower.
Only you know your thoughts.
Only you can know who you truly are.
“One day it just gets better. There’s no explanation or reason why. You just wake up and you’re not angry anymore.”
7:19am - I woke up to make myself a cup of coffee. It’s been days since I’ve had decent sleep. The thoughts just keep coming. Coffee starts my day. It’s numbing.
9:30am- I send my first email and schedule a call with an agency. I work.
10:00am- I have Grey’s Anatomy playing like white noise in the background. I cry a little when something emotionally provoking happens.
2:11pm- I order chinese food.
4:13pm- I work some more.
4:17pm- you deserve someone who truly understands you.
“Maybe you are his favorite, so he says. but how many times has he made you feel alone. how many times has he filled your heart with anger and sorrow. how many times have you felt bitterness. the emptiness. the endless void that leads to nowhere. so yes, maybe he does "love you” but you my dear, deservea lot more.“
You did not see this year turning out this way, and the plans that seemed steady have fallen out of place, but even here, even now, you have not fallen from grace; this glorious unmerited favor that shows up everyday, reminding you: you are Loved…even while you feel this way. And it is okay to say, “this is hard.” It is okay if things are not the same. It is okay if there are feelings that are strong, but they are confusing and too hard to name. For more than you were made to sort through all of this, you were made to trust and let go. You were made to go through every stage it takes to learn, to heal, to grow. — Morgan Harper Nichols
