Sometimes you need to remember that you’re only human, that it is fine for you to stumble and fall, that you alone cannot conquer the whole world, that no matter what you still need help from others, and that even if you fall down, you will eventually stand up again.

All of our unhappiness comes from our inability to be alone. If we can somehow manage that, then we all would surely be happier.

To learn to detach yourself from emotions is not to deprive yourself of it. But rather, to completely drench yourself with it. To surrender your heart your soul and your mind to it, to let you crumble you utterly. Then slowly, bit by bit, rebuild yourself. Now you know how it feels, how it feels to be completely heartbroken, so when the next time comes you know how to pick yourself up. You can tell yourself that you’ve already survived this before… you will survive it again. Because the truth is, you will. It may not seem like it at this moment, but eventually it shall pass, you’ll wipe your tears dry and you’ll wake up the next day smelling like a rose again.

I’ll find a reason to get lost tonight, so that when the morrows come I’ll find my way back again. I’ll let my tears fall just tonight, so that when the morrows come I’ll be anew. I’ll let myself be melancholic tonight, so that when the morrows come I’ll smile again. ‘Cause darling, I’m sorry but I have to go. So that when the morrows come I’ll find myself again whole.

Cause I saw so much of me in you.
I see so much of you in me.
The way you ached but still make it sound like it was nothing much.
The way you would sigh but mask it with laughter.
The way you criticize everything but you amazingly accepted those little flaws.
The way you purse your lips, tuck your chin in your hand, suck in your breath, and relentlessly tell me your story when I asked about it.
The way you fold your arms in front of your chest when you feel the chill setting in.
The way you goofed around like a child but I recognize the aged and tired you inside.
The way your eyes seem to tell something more than what that is said from the mouth.
You are in pain, and I hope you heal.
Cause I saw so much of me in you.

If you’ve ever had one of those times when you’ve clutched a pen or something else in your hand for a long time, only to look down and be surprised that you are still holding it long after your need for it had passed, you’ll understand sometimes we get so used to holding that we forget to let go.
The more you show your feelings, the more ways people can hurt you.

I agree and disagree with this sentence. Yes indeed the more you reveal, the more ways people can hurt you but sometimes that’s what reminds you that you’re merely human. It reminds me that while you get hurt now, eventually life moves on and you’ll see new things, meet new people. Life is not about the breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away.
Long live life.
