I can’t tell if the good times are better than the bad. Why is it that at some points everything is easy and then at others it’s hard l. I don’t understand.

My phone buzzes. I pick it up. I check to see if it’s you. It isn’t. I put it down.

The worst feeling in the world is realizing you are no longer someone’s favorite person anymore but a mere afterthought.

It used to annoy me when people had it so easy. You had a good childhood well fuck off. You’re well off and have connections well good for you. I don’t have connections and I sure as hell didn’t have a good childhood, but I realized over time that me being where I was without help, without an easy life just showed how awesome I really am. I got to where I am not only by myself but also having to deal and cope with issues that started when I was in seventh grade and have followed me through high school. Not only did I get As in my classes but I got As in my classes by studying at someone else’s house because my mom was in rehab. I am not weak. I am strong. I am not dependent on anyone else but myself. I used to one up people on issues they’ve faced. But I’ve realized that I wouldn’t change anything. All the problems I have faced have shaped me into the person I am. And I love who I am.

Change scares me okay. The unknown scares me. How do I know that it will be okay? How do I know how to act if I’ve never seen it before. I like the familiar. In fact, I love it. It’s not scary. It’s not uncomfortable. I’m used to it. That’s the issue. I don’t know how to get over it I guess.

“It’s funny. I still feel like a little girl . I’m still looking around to check and see what other people are doing to make sure I’m not completely different; I’m still looking around for help, hoping for a quick nudge and a whisper of advice. But I can’t seem to be able to catch anybody’s eye. Nobody else around me seems to be looking around and wondering what to do. Why is it that I feel like I’m the only person who is confused and concerned about the choices I’ve made and where I’m headed?”

— Cecelia Ahern, Love, Rosie (via books-n-quotes)

[books-n-quotes]

“Words, I think, are such unpredictable creatures. No gun, no sword, no army or king will ever be more powerful than a sentence. Swords may cut and kill, but words will stab and stay, burying themselves in our bones to become corpses we carry into the future, all the time digging and failing to rip their skeletons from our flesh.”

— Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me (via books-n-quotes)

lower your expectations so when people disappoint you, you expect it.

“There is always something left to love.”

— Lorraine Hansberry, A Raisin in the Sun (via books-n-quotes)
