Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Sunrises are beautiful. A new day arrives. It’s a new beginning. With every sunrise, you get the chance to start all over again. It’s like a reset button.”
Every single one of my days feels like I’m falling apart. I spend every day picking up the pieces that fall throughout the day and glue them back together.
That’s another thing I hate. When I do say I don’t feel well… I don’t always know why. Actually, I rarely know why I don’t feel okay. But people tell me I need to have a reason. I don’t. It hurts when they say this. It makes me feel unworthy, stupid… as if something’s seriously wrong with me. They don’t understand me. They don’t want to understand me. No one does.
My thoughts are killing me. Literally.
“Colin managed to make me feel more alive in three days than I’ve ever felt for almost twenty-one years. You can’t seriously be mad at your best friend for making my life better.”
How do I convey to someone who’s suicidal that I’ve already found my happiness, and it will leave right when she does? How can I express to her that she’s my happiness, that she brings the light to my life? How do I tell her that she’s my joy, everything that satisfies me, that she’s my euphoria… without making it sound like I want her to stay alive for me?
as long as my heart has hope and yearns for one single thing, may it be a stupid coffee at my favorite coffee shop or a smile from a stranger, I owe it to myself to stay strong.
