Every Word You Cannot Say

by Iain S. Thomas

*We forget that how a person acts in each moment is not who they are, that each person is a series of moments and we cannot judge any moment in isolation, and use that moment to define them.

We forget there is still a child in all of us, begging for love. We forget that this is true of every person we meet.

We only hear the loudest voices when really, we should be listening to the quietest.

The world will always wear you down, so let it wear you down until only the good remains. Hold on to the incredible parts of you that survive.

the correct response to pain, is self-love. When we’re hurt, we need to take better care of ourselves. Not worse. It can be hard to be conscious in the moment and remember to be kind to ourselves when someone hurts us. But you need to try.

How do you explain that there is no greater force in the universe than the love you have in your heart for them.

Don’t worry, time must pass, even in the moments when it feels like it can’t, or shouldn’t.
