“I Can’t Change Where I Come From Or What I’ve Been Through, So Why Should I Be Ashamed Of What

Just keep on being at it...keep on doing your shit. That's it!

I tried everything and I‘m Not enough. I‘m a disappointment you said that mum. And after everything that you‘ve done to me I‘ve kept trying because all I‘ve ever wanted is that you love and care about me.

- Hazel

I like shiny things but I would marry you with paper rings!!!!

I’m disappointed. I’m done. Thank you to my parents for doing the bare minimum required by law. In all seriousness, I hope they just go fuck themselves. I fucking despite them.

I have no regrets. My whole life is a mistake.

I appreciate your concern. None of this is your fault. It's me. It's me and my head.

“I’m not fascinated by people who smile all the time. What I find interesting is the way people look when they are lost in thought, when their face becomes angry or serious, when they bite their lip, the way they glance, the way they look down when they walk, when they are alone and smoking a cigarette, when they smirk, the way they half smile, the way they try and hold back tears, the way when their face says they want to say something but can’t, the way they look at someone they want or love… I love the way people look when they do these things. It’s… beautiful.”

— Clemence Poésy (via thoughtkick)

“Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one’s self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily.”

"You're a horrible daughter, a failure just like your father!"

Narcissists like to deflect their own flaws and make others feel like shit. I am a well educated, successful financial independent female always trying to be there and help out at home. So frustrating dealing with this! 😑
