1 " They say the truth will set you free, but what they neglect to mention is what happens when the truth isn't what you want to hear. "
― Connor Franta , Note to Self
2 " I remain a work in progress and will be to the day i die "
3 " I don't think people find themselves until they're lost. Only then does their journey begin. "
4 " In suffering, you've found a greater understanding and appreciation for all of life's wonders. You're still trying to believe it every day. One morning you convince yourself it will all be worth it, the next you're down and believe it all to be worthless. "
5 " They say that the truth with 'set you free', but they neglect to tell us what happens when the truth is something we don't want to hear. "
6 " I can choose to either consciously live in fear of the unknown or melt into life's warm embrace. "
7 " They say the truth will set you free, but what they neglect to mention is what happens when the truth isn’t what you want to hear. "
8 " In suffering, you‘ve found a greater understanding and appreciation for all of life‘s wonders. "
9 " Age might relieve many things, but it doesn’t ease our discomfort with uncertainty. The mind seeks clarity, but our souls prefer to wander into ambiguity. "
10 " Sir, whatever is upsetting you, just know that it will be okay. It will always be okay. "
11 " Which sounds better: a) I have a lot of stressful things going on but keep them to myself, or b) I have a lot of stressful things going on but I choose to talk about them until I ultimately work through whatever the issue is.If you chose "b," then DING, DING, DING, you are correct, sir/madam/whatever pronoun you prefer or identify with most. "
12 " Let's never forget our good days; we should string them together like pearls on a necklace, to be treasured and remembered whenever days don't make us feel as good. I think that sometimes it's the memory of simple, ordinary, happy days that sustains us. The ones without expectation, that come with no strings attached. The ones that stand out for blending in, and can be appreciated for that reason alone. "
13 " I don't trust my mind because it has so many filters (and contains way too many rabbit holes and avenues that lead to me chasing, or fretting over, false thoughts). It has an erratic tendency to play games with me and invent worries and gears and illusions that don't turn out to be true or have any basis in fact. The heart is different. It's pure. Unfiltered. Unbiased. It knows nothing but fact. There is only one reality for it to face and only one light in the path of darkness. The heart is naturally wise. "
