“They say that a person’s personality is the sum of their experiences. But that isn’t true, at least not entirely, because if our past was all that defined us, we’d never be able to put up with ourselves. We need to be allowed to convince ourselves that we’re more than the mistakes we made yesterday. That we are all of our next choices, too, all of our tomorrows.”

— #Fredrik Backman (Anxious People)

“Never tell a child ‘you have a soul.’ Teach him, you are a soul; you have a body.”

“When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life. It means fear is no longer a dominant factor in what you do and no longer prevents you from taking action to initiate change. The Roman philosopher Tacitus rightly observed that ‘the desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise.’ If uncertainty is unacceptable to you, it turns into fear. If it is perfectly acceptable, it turns into aliveness, alertness and creativity.”

“Am I the only one scared of feeling truly happy? I worry if I feel truly happy that something bad will happen. I frequently don’t want to voice good things because I’m worried I’ll jinx it and then it’ll be my fault that something bad happens...”

-Someone from an OCD support group

“A long time ago I learned not to explain things to people. It misleads them into thinking they’re entitled to know everything I do.”

“Because the terrible thing about becoming an adult is being forced to realize that absolutely nobody cares about us, we have to deal with everything ourselves now, find out how the whole world works. Work and pay bills, use dental floss and get to meetings on time, stand in line and fill out forms, come to grips with cables and put furniture together, change tires on the car and charge the phone and switch the coffee machine off and not forget to sign the kids up for swimming lessons. We open our eyes in the morning and life is just waiting to tip a fresh avalanche of "Don't Forget!"s and "Remember!"s over us. We don't have time to think or breathe, we just wake up and start digging through the heap, because there will be another one dumped on us tomorrow. We look around occasionally, at our place of work or at parents' meetings or out in the street, and realize with horror that everyone else seems to know exactly what they're doing. We're the only ones who have to pretend. Everyone else can afford stuff and has a handle on other stuff and enough energy to deal with even more stuff. And everyone else's children can swim. But we weren’t ready to become adults. Someone should have stopped us.”

“In your life, you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about ever again. But you do.”

— C.S. Lewis, The Wonder Years (via meineluft)

I’m stuck in the paradox of knowing that there is no purpose to life so I don’t want to care about anything but also so desperately wanting to find a purpose that I care about everything.

People spend so much time worrying about the wrong things. Like their selfie not getting 300 likes or that the Starbucks barista got their order wrong. Why is no one worrying about the fact we’re going to die someday. Maybe even someday soon.
