Kindle Notes & Highlights
I want to speak out ten out of ten times.
What I’m saying is, don’t compare yourself to other people. Compare yourself to your past self.
I’m always like that. Any reaction can make me think, Oh, she must not like me anymore.
being aware of something is a huge step in the right direction.
‘The important thing here isn’t whether you are being loved, it’s how you will accept the love that comes your way.’
Life is all about getting better and getting worse and getting better again, so getting worse is a natural part of life and I just have to learn to deal with it.
So I turn my gaze. From despair to hope. From discomfort to comfort. From the majority to the minority. From the things that are useful but make me rust to the things that are useless but make me beautiful.
I simply must accept that I have room for improvement, and consider these moments as constant opportunities for self-reflection, to feel shame and joy at having learned something new and to keep inching towards change.
It’s no use to hold on to the empty shell of a love that’s past, to try to win back a heart that will never return, or to let your regrets eat you up from the inside . . .
