Kindle Notes & Highlights
no matter how cliché it sounds, I want to believe that I can change the world in a way that no one else can.
If you yearn for it and work for it, there’s no reason why you won’t fulfill every dream.
What’s the point of living? Is it a way to pass time that doesn’t even exist? And maybe, inherently, nothing matters in the grand scheme of things.
“It shows that despite their best efforts to forget each other, and despite each other's flaws and failures, they’re still willing to give it another chance. People can’t be modified by ignorance or renunciation,”
“Somehow, messed-up things seem to generate something good with them
we all do bad things. But not all bad things make us bad people. Redemption is possible.”
“And sometimes the worst things that we do lead us to the best things that happen to us,”
“If you only read what everyone else does, you can only think what everyone else is thinking,”
No amount of guilt will change the past.
The belief that everything happens for a reason makes the terrible things in our lives a part of something greater.
If you read the same thing over and over, you’ll still interpret it differently each time. There will be something that resonates with you that day, whether it’s based on your mood or something that you’re seeking to find.”
“It’s a waste of time and energy to analyze the past. To try put pieces back together, to justify what could have happened, when in reality, there’s nothing you can do to turn back the clock,”
“Living in the past only fucks up the present,”
“The monsters that live in your mind really do exist. They just have the face of a human,”
You can’t rely on him to heal you when he’s the one who broke you.”
Nothing can stay the same. We’re all part of a changing power that twists and turns us in unconceivable ways until we experience it for ourselves. There may be harsh and eccentric lessons to learn, but they are all a reminder that nothing stays the same—not even when you want it to. Every so often, that can be something to look forward to, and other times, it’s something we shy away from. Nevertheless, take everything as it comes, for it’s a gift to be able to move through time and experience what the universe offers you—no matter how forbidding it may seem.
