amazing where stumbling can take you XP

"Do not fall into the trap of pretending everything is fine when you know that it's not."

"I always feel like I've said the wrong thing. I constantly obsess over what I could have done better. I wish i could just let it all go."

"Remember this: You don't have to be strong all the time. It's ok to break down and it's normal to feel weak."

"There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go."

"I can see beauty where others see ugliness. That either makes me an artist, or a person of very poor taste."

"We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversation with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk."

"Most of the time I do feel like I need someone else when I'm alone. But I can still get by with just my own company and that makes me a stronger person."

"Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing."

"Unless you decide you are worth of more, you will be content with less."

"The inexpressible depth of music, so easy to understand and yet so inexplicable, is due to the fact that it reproduces all the emotions of our innermost being, but entirely without reality and remote from pain... Music expresses only the quintessence of life and of its events, never these themselves."

"You don't always have to pretend to be strong, there's no need to prove all the time that everything is going well, you shouldn't be concerned about what other people are thinking, cry if you need to, it's good to cry out all your tears (because only then will you be able to smile again)."

"Sometimes we must get hurt in order to grow; we must fail in order to know. Sometimes our vision clears only after our eyes are washed clear with tears."

"Sometimes, running away means you're headed in the exact right direction."

"It's not about being who everyone else wants you to be, it's about being yourself and finding someone who loves every bit of it."

"The truth is I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't."

"A cynical young person is almost the saddest sight to see because it means that he or she has gone from knowing nothing to believing in nothing."

"No one thing is original anymore."

"There will come a day when you'll feel like shit and you'll want to give up on this life and everything else. When that day arrives save yourself some trouble and don't do a thing. Just take a nap."

"Maybe crying is a means of cleaning yourself out emotionally. Or maybe it's your communication of last resort; the only way to express yourself when words fail - the same as when you were a baby and had no words."

"If you've lost your faith in LOVE and MUSIC, the end won't be long."

"It's always hard to be the one left behind." but you know what? i think it's even harder to be the one who has to leave.

"It's better to say too much than never to say what you need to say."
