Sue Monk Kidd, The Mermaid Chair
"This is life - people will screw you over. You'll fight with your family. You'll witness things that will change you forever. You'll blame new lovers for things old lovers did. You'll lose best friends you thought would always be there. Yo5'll come to realize that everyone has a past. You'll cry, you'll laugh, and you'll embarrass yourself. But then, you'll find your very own moment where none of that matters; where you can sit back and realize that shit happens to the people who can handle it and that this is who you are, and no one should want to change you, including yourself."
still trying to figure out who i am
i actually have a fashion taste that is completly different from what i actually wear but i dont have enough confidence to wear what i really want to wear
Just because you think someone is skinny and beautiful doesn’t mean that they aren’t self conscious. Just because you think someone looks happy doesn’t mean they aren’t depressed. Just because someone has an eating disorder, doesn’t mean they’re that way because of a boy or a girl. Just because someone may have nice things, doesn’t mean they have an easy life.
You really don’t know how much people really suffer deep down. No one really knows anything besides yourself.
Jacqueline Woodson, From the Notebooks of Melanin Sun
