Kindle Notes & Highlights
you disappoint yourself when you give something and wait for the same thing back.
if you’re not questioning then how are you finding out?
you wait for a perfect time, but you end up losing all the time in between. is that really still perfect?
you can’t know if it will work out. but you can’t know anything at all if you never say yes to anything.
the energy you spend worrying about your future is the same energy you need to do something about the present.
I do not know where I am meant to be but I do know that I do not belong here and that is enough for me to leave.
it’s easy to leave when things are shit when it’s obvious that it’s time to go but how do you leave when things are not the best but nothing is horribly wrong you’ve tried tolerating but you’ve been tolerating for a long time and you probably could some more but you really don’t want to anymore if you leave they will paint you a villain if you stay you’re condemning yourself to a death sentence tell me how do you leave when nothing is too fucked up yet but the one feeling especially fucked up is you
it is better to fuck up than to live your entire life and have nothing happen at all.
3 things leaving taught me: change is possible. maybe things will suck at the beginning but you will feel happier. and that’s better. you’re stuck because you’re afraid that you will never have it as good as you do now. but that’s not true. you’ve outdone yourself plenty of times before. you can and will do it again. you learn more quickly by making mistakes than trying to avoid them. don’t overthink. do what you feel is right. if you make a mistake, you can always fix it.
it’s better to be lost than in a place you don’t want to be in.
homesick for a home you are not sure exists.
