Beauty in the Breaking

There's one thing a quote does that nothing
& no one else can do. it can become a part of you.
you may never meet the person who said it,
but that person is now a companion.
quotes help you get over pain, feel love,
make you smile & laugh,
& help you through those tough days
when you think no one else knows
what you're going through.

What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody.
Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention.
Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction.

naive because i’m younger than you
bitch because i don’t let you push me around
loser because i’m not best friends with you
liar because i will not tell you everything
conceited because i’m proud of who i am
ugly because my face isn’t perfect
unappreciative because i don’t praise you
stupid because sometimes i’m wrong
slut because i have guy friends
annoying because im not chill enough for you.
rude because my manners arent perfect,
dont tell me who i am, i don't live by your standards.

Little girl, don’t be so blue.I know what you’re going through.
Don’t let it beat you up.Hitting walls and getting scars.
Only makes you who are.
No matter how much your heart is aching.
There is beauty in the breaking.

And you get to a point where you stop
feeling sorry for yourself. You realize no one's going to save you, so you have
to save yourself. You turn your life
around, not knowing where you're going,
just knowing that you'll do anything,
ANYTHING to be happy again.

sometimes all you can do is not think. not wonder. not obsess. not imagine.
just breathe. breathe in, breathe out. everything works out in the end, & the more time
you spend worrying about it, the longer it takes for things to end perfectly… just the way they should.

So Fail. Be bad at things. Be embarrassed. Be afraid. Be vulnerable.
Go out on a limb or two or twelve, and you will fall and it'll hurt.
But the harder you fall, the farther you will rise.
The louder you fall, the clearer your future becomes. Failure is a gift, welcome it.
There are people who spend their whole lives wondering
how they became the people they became, how certain chances pass them by,
why they didn't take the roads less traveled. Those people aren't you.
You have front row seats to your own transformation, and in transforming yourself,
you might even transform the world.
And it will be electric, and I promise it will be terrifying.
Embrace that; embrace the new person you're becoming.

This is your moment.

I promise you, it is now, not two minutes from now, not tomorrow, but really now.
Own that; know that deep in your bones.
And go to sleep every night knowing that, wake up every morning remembering that.
And then...keep going
