Looking for a gem, we are sometimes dumb enough to try to hold on to a lump of coal, convinced that it will turn into a diamond in our lifetime... but all it does it get sh*t all over you until you burn it and use the energy for something else.
I think we, sometimes, try to fill a void with so many other things that we make the wound deeper & prevent it from ever healing properly.
Your past doesn't define you. Only your present and your future. If your life is screwed up, stop making excuses. What are you going to do about it today?
Today is the first day of the rest of your life, and if you screw that up, you can start again tomorrow.
If at first you don't succeed, sure, try again... but if you keep not succeeding, you should probably concentrate on something (or someone) else worthwhile & quit wasting your time.
There is no fate... no predestination... no luck. Don't use that as an excuse to not live the life you want. Work for it. You make your future - no one else.
It's nice to feel needed... it's better to feel wanted.
You may just miss an awesome ride if you only look at happiness as a destination.
How hollow must your life be for you to waste it hating and oppressing others, whose lives are of no consequence to your own?
Some people change. Most people don't. Accepting this makes it much harder for them to disappoint you.
I used to dream of a week-long beach vacation with white sand under my toes... right now, I'd settle for 48 hours at a Motel 6 with some Lysol and a UV lamp.
Never play the Devil's Advocate. Your words could be the difference between success and failure in someone else.
If it isn't going to matter to you in 5 years, quit stressing about it. (Also, quit b*tching about it. It might matter when you're all alone in 5 yrs because you're annoying now.)
I've never understood why people get mad at others for not being interested in them romantically - especially when there are so many reasons to be mad at people that are within their control.
Why would they have book covers if we aren't supposed to judge the book by them? It makes no sense.
What if reincarnation really happens, and Jesus were reincarnated, & you were a total d*ck to him? It could happen. You should probably treat everyone like they were Jesus reincarnated.
Teach by example and treat yourself the way you would want your children to treat themselves.
I was thinking about picking up kayaking, but I didn't want anyone to think I had herpes.
The more obstacles you encounter, the harder you must fight to meet your destiny. Never let adversity win. Never give up on yourself and the good you can bring to the world.
If you're overwhelmed, lost, or like you life is out of control, do whatever you can that matters to someone else or ever did to you... it might not help, but it certainly won't hurt.
As a kid, I dreamed of a knight in shining armor coming to rescue me. Now, I just dream of equal pay for equal work.
Neglecting your health is the equivalent to spitting in the face of everyone fighting to stay alive and of those who have lost their fight.
It may be easier to get forgiveness than permission, but trust is harder to get back than both.
The only complicated things worth fighting for will change the world in some way and/or make you lots of money, and a complicated relationship will only keep you from doing either.
Insecurity isn't an attractive quality in a man.
