The time will pass anyway. You can either spend it creating the life you want or spend it living the life you don’t want. The choice is yours.

I am the queen of spades, I am the wasp that stings, I am the dark serpent. I am the invulnerable animal who passes through fire and is not burned.
The Days of Abandonment, Elena Ferrante

The one thing you can control is how you treat yourself. And that one thing can change everything.
Leeana Tankersley
Se tens um coração de ferro, bom proveito. O meu, fizeram-no de carne, e sangra todo dia.
José Saramago
Perfectionism is self-abuse of the highest order.
Ann Wilson Schaff
I learned not to trust people; I learned not to believe what they say but to watch what they do; I learned to suspect that anyone and everyone is capable of 'living a lie'. I came to believe that other people - even when you think you know them well - are ultimately unknowable.

Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the Universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just give up.

I have such a strong inner life that I’m never bored and only occasionally lonely. No matter what mayhem is happening around me, I know I can always turn inward.
The Power of Introverts, Susan Cain
So far you’ve survived 100% of your worst days.
You’re doing great.
all friendships of any length are based on a continued, mutual forgiveness. without tolerance and mercy all friendships die.
[...]
to remain friends we must know the other and their difficulties and even their sins and encourage the best in them, not through critique but through addressing the better part of them, the leading creative edge of their incarnation, thus subtly discouraging what makes them smaller, less generous, less of themselves

You know that bullshit people say about how, when you fall, you gotta get up? I reject that shit man. You know why?
The whole thing is a fall. It can't help but be.
A perpetual state of grasping in the dark.
It's not about getting up. It's about stumbling. Stumbling in the right direction.
It's the only true way to move forward.

Stop blaming me, thinking I'm the problem. If you think I'm the problem, then you have to change me. If you realize that you're the problem, then you can change yourself, learn something and grow wiser. Most people want everyone else in the world to change themselves. Let me tell you, it's easier to change yourself than everyone else.

How we spend our days is,
of course,
how we spend our lives.
Annie Dillard
They made us believe that real love, the one that's strong, only happens once, more likely before your thirties. They never told us that love is not something that you can put in motion, neither has time schedule.
They made us believe that each one of us is the half of an orange, and that life only makes sense when you find that other half. They did not tell us that we were born as whole, and that no one in our lives deserves to carry on his back such responsibility of completing what is missing on us: we grow through life by ourselves. If we have a good company it's just more pleasant.
They made us believe in a formula “two in one”: two people sharing the same line of thinking, same ideas, and that it is what works. It's never been told that it has another name: invalidation, that only two individuals with their own personality is how you can have a healthy relationship. It has been made to believe that marriage is an obliged institution and that fantasies out of hour should be repressed.
They made us believe that the thin and beautiful are the ones who are more loved, that the ones that have little sex are boring, and the ones that have a lot of it are not trustful, and that will always have a old shoes to a crooked foot; what they forgot to tell us is that there are more crooked minds than feet.
They made us believe that there's one way formula to be happy, the same one to everybody, and the ones that escape from that are condemned to be delinquents. We have never been told that those formulas go wrong, they get people frustrated, they are alienating, and that we can try other alternatives. Oh! Also they did not tell us that no one will tell those things to us.
Each and everyone of us will have to learn by ourselves. And, when we get to the point that you are in love with yourself first, that's when you can fall in love with somebody.
John Lennon

Build from the selfless place inside of you that is not big or loud or selfish or proud. Build from that little spot inside of you that burns quietly and unceasingly for others. Remember: whatever is burrowed deep in one hungry soul is bound to be tethered to the hearts of many, many more.
