too easy to feel all alone

A wise girl once said: if he wants to see you, he would. If he wants to be with you, he'd make sure of that as well.

sometimes it takes the small things to realize the bigger things

& the moments in which you wish you ceased to exist, 
just remember that it can only get better from there

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

“All I can say is that you make me... you make me into someone I couldn't even imagine. You make me happy, even when you're awful. I would rather be with you - even the you that you seem to think is diminished - than with anyone else in the world.” 
― Jojo Moyes, Me Before You

Things to learn & accept

• You can't change who you've become and you can't predict who you will become
• You can't make someone appreciate you and you certainly can't control the way they show the appreciation
• Your worth should not be defined in any way other than your own self-respect
• So love yourself
• No matter where you go and what you do, you can't escape the life that trails behind you
• So focus on what lies ahead instead
• Without lows, there are no highs
• It will always be mind over matter
• You're better off exhaling & letting go than bottling it in & letting it consume you
• It's okay to feel disappointed in other people; they are not responsible for knowing and meeting all of your expectations
• Comparison is evil; avoid it
• Life is too short & time is too limited to be sitting around wondering why you're not good enough or why you seem to ruin everything or why you're such a mess; don't look back & keep moving forward in spite of all this that makes humans so screwed up
