Don’t ever feel bad for making a decision that upsets other people. You are not responsible for their happiness. You are responsible for your happiness.

You sometimes think you want to disappear, but all you really want is to be found.

Kid Cudi (via wordsnquotes)

I learned the hard way that I cannot always count on others to respect my feelings - even if I respect theirs. Being a good person doesn’t guarantee that others will be good people. You only have control over yourself and how you choose to be as a person. As for others, you can only choose to accept them or walk away.

I think it’s brave to try to be happy. You’ve gotten so comfortable being unhappy. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to wake up in the morning and choose to be happy, to let the water wash everything away?

I don’t know what’s the matter with me—why I’m so adept at distance, why I feel so remote from things, why life feels like a rumor.

Why is it so hard to articulate love yet so easy to express disappointment?

Somebody once told me I was annoying, and it literally broke my heart. Because it felt like I was giving too much of myself to people who didn’t want it. It felt like I was forcing myself to be in a place where I wasn’t wanted. That was the starting point, and it never stopped. My heart just keeps on breaking. Because I still feel unwanted. I still feel like I’m not enough. I still feel like I’m annoying the hell out of everyone. And it still hurts the same way it did the first time - like I’d somehow rather die.

February is the shortest month of the year, so if you are having a miserable month, try to schedule it for February.

I love it when humans are soft. Just think about it; you know people when they are at their cruel and their competitive when their hearts are on fire and their minds as sharp as the edge of a blade. And then you see them at 2am, their heads lolling on their shoulders, heavy eyelids, and soft-spoken words. Like I don’t know what I’m doing and You’re so good to me. Sometimes humans are too tired to be anything but honest. And catch them then, look at them when they’re just raw emotion and pure, unbridled magic. Look at them when they see a beautiful photo or a poem, tagging their friends, hastily scribbled love notes in the form of This reminded me of you. Shakespeare’s love sonnets have nothing on them. And it takes my breath away because we are all struggling on this planet, working and exploring and trying - oh, we are trying so hard. But we still have time to breathe out I love you and mean it.
