In life, you’re meant to be happy or content, only experiencing moments of sadness, so if sadness is your natural state, what does that say about you?’

For some reason, at night, when you’re meant to be sleeping, your brain wants answers to everything.

don’t think you turn thirty and become immune to mistake-making or lesson-learning. You grow wiser (supposedly) but never omniscient. There’s always something you need to be taught, and so you keep learning and you keep growing up – until you’re dead.

apologies only benefit the beggar. They get a clear conscience and I get a sequence of hollow words incapable of changing anything.

A person’s troubles are not measured by the size of those troubles, but by how much they weigh on the individual carrying them.

It’s not too late to be the person you want or were always meant to be.

There’s often a misconception that to be well-loved, the love has to come from multiple sources, when truthfully, one or two people can love you with the strength of ten.

“Regardless of how you behave, a lot of things are going to be out of your control because this world was made to test you. Protect your peace in whatever and every way that you can.” ’
