“I used to say ‘what will people think?’ ‘ But, it’s my life. I don’t care what people think. What they think only affects them, not me. So, let them think what they want. But, let me live like I want.’”

Things to distract you from feeling sad:
make playlists of songs that make you happy
eat some fruits and mix them in yogurt
have a long cry if you’ve been holding everything in
don’t go on your phone, brew some tea, sit in a warm comfortable spot and read a book
don’t stay in bed too long
write a list of things that make you excited or happy
listen to music and go for a walk if it’s sunny
watch a feel-good movie and drink a mug of hot chocolate
reminisce good memories, they’re proof that life can be lovely
spray some perfume
read posts or quotes that inspire you
“I just feel like heaven and hell are a place that’s inside each of us and we’re the ones who choose which one to explore. I mean, like, you know, I think you have to have both to have an understanding of why they exist. Shit wouldn’t be balanced if we didn’t have hell. I don’t think you’d be able to appreciate how amazing it feels to sit on a rooftop with all your friends as you’re watching the sunset listening to your favorite Lorde song if you didn’t want to kill yourself sometimes. You know and I think we’re all like, you know, a step away from both. I feel like both universes are so near to us. I don’t really think that heaven is all the way up at the top of whatever all of this is, and that hell is all the way down at the bottom. I think it’s all right here in front of us. I think they layer onto our realities like filters on an Instagram image. We see our lives through heaven and hell, and I think we always have a say in which one we can choose. You know because, even when your life is dog shit, heaven is just as close as it was before. You don’t really get further away from it, you just lose the ability to take notice of it, I guess. But I know how you feel, man. I feel like God is really quiet sometimes in my stupid life. But I still know that it’s all still right there in front of my face. It’s not really a matter of looking or searching, it’s a matter of seeing things for what they are. It’s all so much closer to you than you think it is. It’s all just a breath away.”

“Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.”
