“I like the stars. It’s the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they’re always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend… I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don’t last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend…”

“I hate this feeling. Like I’m here, but I’m not. Like someone cares. But they don’t. Like I belong somewhere else, anywhere but here, and escape lies just past that snowy window, cool and crisp…”

“There is no one ultimate way to get passed an obstacle. There is no straight definite path through times of struggle. We are all different, and thus we will each discover our own unique solutions to the challenges introduced in our lives.”

Who says that you must do what everyone else does? Who says that you must be a certain way to be considered ‘normal?’

What is it that makes this so?

No one. Regardless of your skills, interests, or talents; you are phenomenal.

No matter your hair colour, eye colour, or height; you are attractive.

What ever your knowledge, experience, and time spent on this earth; you are taking it at the pace that is meant for you.

You are amazing. Please, give yourself more credit.

“You cannot care about what anyone else thinks. You must not allow for yourself to become shackled to others’ thoughts.
They are not you. You are not them.
Thus, it is only your own self perception that truly matters, for you are the one and only owner of yourself.”
