Kindle Notes & Highlights
“The greatest medicine on Earth isn’t a pill. It’s compassion. The ability to make someone feel less alone. Someone very close has been this for you.”
Sometimes the world looks bleak. Like every road is barricaded. Like pounding through walls to reach a happy future takes too much effort. Like it’s not in the cards for me. Then I remember it’s not impossible. This is temporary. This feeling will go away soon. Just wait. The walls will dissolve. Just wait. The sun will rise again. Just wait. We can wait in the arms of the people we love.
Independence by definition is about self-governing. About choosing for yourself. About making your own decisions. All of my decisions belong to me. I chose this life. I love this life, and fuck everyone who wants to choose for me.
