Kindle Notes & Highlights
That’s the most pathetic part of being a human, the emotions you don’t ask for or want, they just rush you anyway.
I know that life is not simple because I am not simple. In fact, I am learning that I am more than simple and less than normal.
That causes an ache deep in my chest. To know that there are guys willing to drop their shopping bags to catch their girl. And I want someone to love me that effortlessly.
That’s the worst thing about being young. You really have no clue about all the changes that are coming. And when they come, no matter how people have warned you, you are genuinely surprised.
“We think we can control our lives, but our lives control us. And everything that touches our lives controls us. People have less power than they think they do. It’s just the reactions we control.”
No one tells you that it hurts this much to be a grown-up. That people are so complicated they end up hurting each other to self preserve.
“Be good and be kind,”
“Let people feel the weight of who you really are, and let them fucking deal with it.”
Embrace the lows so that you can more effectively enjoy the highs. Love the fight. Love it so much, and let it save you when your emotional muscles have become soft.
