1 " Even if you do it quietly you have to give yourself the life you want. "
― Iain S. Thomas , Every Word You Cannot Say
2 " You can be someone who matters to others.You can be someone who matters to you. "
3 " I know that, sometimes, you wish someone would just say the words you needed to hear because, sometimes, you don't even know what those words are. "
4 " I feel like I’m the only one who feels the things I feel, or thinks the way I think. I’m worried that I’m taking everything too seriously, or not seriously enough. Sometimes I want you to see me, and sometimes I want to disappear. I don’t know if I’ve ever truly felt like the ground beneath me was firm. Things always feel like they’re moving and I never get the chance to catch up to them and when I do, it feels like it all goes too quickly. I am nice to people I don’t like because I don’t know what else to do. I feel like I’m waiting for something but I don’t know what it is. I often walk past people in the street, and I wonder if anyone else is waiting too. I don’t know if I’m ever, really, “Here.” So I'm fine.* *I'm not fine. "
5 " You can hide so much, you forget what it's like to be found. "
6 " And if you find someone with a head made of colors and a heart made of secrets, try to love them like they need to be loved. "
7 " You cannot fix me because I am not broken. And even though everything has changed, I am still more than I've ever been. "
8 " Let’s talk about it another time.**If I’m honest, sometimes I feel like we’ve been trying to find each other in every life before this one, and this is as close as we’ve ever gotten. And I know now that we have to try again because we fucked this up. Maybe we won’t even be born on the same continent next time, or the time after that, and we’ll just spend those lives searching for something we can’t find, miserable for reasons we will never understand. Until we get to try again. Until we somehow find each other in another life. "
9 " We only hear the loudest voices when really, we should be listening to the quietest. "
10 " Sometimes, you don't think you deserve goodness. But, I promise you, we all have things we think we don't deserve. "
11 " Everyone you meet along the way is just someone at a different point in their story. So be patient and kind. But don’t let anyone tell you how your story should go. "
12 " And we’re not everything we could be, because we’re afraid to allow ourselves to exist all at once, because too many people have told us not to. "
13 " Not everyone wins the lottery, but everyone who does bought a ticket. To live the life you want, you have to be brave and buy the ticket every single day. "
14 " There is a kind of light that can shine in anyone, if they give themselves the space to shine. "
15 " Now listen: You are made of good things. You are capable of incredible things. You are a song the universe sings itself, in every color it can imagine. Some parts are sad. Some parts are happy. Every part of the song, is a part of you. Listen. Listen to the sound of the universe. "
16 " I really do hope you find what you’re looking for, and I hope you find something new to look for after that, and I hope some part of you is always looking and that you discover that searching is something beautiful we all do. "
17 " But if we are the monster, and the person being chased, then we need to stop running because we cannot run away from ourselves. "
18 " It was dark and I didn't know if the sun would come out again. "
19 " Kindness is not a currency, and if you treat it like one, then that is not kindness. "
20 " In me is a song that no one can silence. "
