Kindle Notes & Highlights
if you’re feeling overwhelmed because you’re faced with a complex task, try to lessen that sensation with simple tasks of things you can do, like starting with the first easy step, and then, after that, doing the next simple thing.
What I can say, however, is that I’ve come to accept that life never turns out quite like one expects.
Because who is ever really fixed when it comes to mental or emotional health? Life takes radical twists and turns, and hopes and dreams shift as people enter different phases of their lives.
“Maybe the older people get, the more important the past becomes? Because there’s less future ahead?”
People are complex, life seldom turns out the way you imagine it will, and emotions can be contradictory.
I sometimes believe the world would run better if I were put in charge of everything and could indeed control people, but knowing me, I’d probably get tired of the responsibility.
“Forgiveness doesn’t mean you forget, or you stop wishing that you
can change the past. Mainly it means that you accept the idea that you’re not perfect, because no one is perfect. And terrible things can happen to anyone.”
when I fell in love with you, I didn’t drift into it, it didn’t happen over time, it wasn’t anything that I even thought I wanted.
