I almost made a guy cry once and then I went on to have a lovely rest of the day. Felt good to put the little shit back into his place.

Life will not treat you well and sometimes it will hurt you and you will hate it, but life doesn’t function like we humans do.

You’re scared because the kind of safety you have now is all you have and beyond that, you have nothing.

To anxiety: You guarded me; you were the kindest to me. I had a fucked up definition of kind.

I’ll sit here and listen to you Telling me trivial things that mostly make you up

Perfection is a lie, the sooner you realize that the more effortless it will be to exist. And the more you dare fear the more you will actually live.

We perceive pain as weakness but matter of fact is, going through pain and surviving is proof of strength and sustainability.

When I say I’m fine, I mean that I need to figure some stuff out by myself.

I hope you come to terms with the brutality of this world and choose to forgive anyway. I hope you walk away from the pain with a smile on your face and in your heart.

I lost myself, only to be justly found. I lost things I had to lose and I realized that losing isn’t a ruthless thing and neither is change. I lost everything I needed to lose to start over right.

It’s a beautiful place we’re in. A place where only you and I exist. Everything else is just background noise. We belong here stronger than we’ve belonged to anywhere else. Because we’ve never really belonged anywhere else.

The more you consciously let things go, the happier your life gets.

I want to break and reshape and I want to feel the pieces that barely fit together. I’m not a store bought puzzle. I’m human

Be a good person, but don’t talk about being a good person.

You love class because it’s an outlet to being the douchey artist you sometimes want to be. You enjoy the pretentious discussion you have because, like all artists, you have a little pretentious asshole inside of you that can only be set free around other secretly pretentious assholes like yourself.

Mistakes are merely things that had to happen to get you to the place you belong.

You don’t have to have your life figured out.
