#finding-yourself

"There’s something really cool about knowing that your destiny is SO big that you’re not meant to share it with anyone. At least not yet."

"One of the best times for figuring out who you are & what you really want out of life? Right after a break-up."

"If you learn to really sit with loneliness and embrace it for the gift that it is…an opportunity to get to know YOU, to learn how strong you really are, to depend on no one but YOU for your happiness…you will realize that a little loneliness goes a LONG way in creating a richer, deeper, more vibrant and colorful YOU."

"I will come back to you, I swear I will;And you will know me still.I shall be only a little tallerThan when I went."

"You said you knew the perfect place to run to. A place that was empty of people, and buildings, and far, far away. A place covered in blood-red earth and sleeping life. A place longing to come alive again. It's a place for disappearing, you'd said, a place for getting lost... and for getting found.I'll take you there, you'd said.And I could say that I agreed."

"It is not true that everyone is special. It is true that everyone was once special and still possesses the ability to recover it."

"Sometimes when you lose your way, you find YOURSELF."

"You can run away from yourself so often, and so much, just because the broken pieces of you cut your feet too deeply if you stay around for too long. But then what if someone were to come along and pick up those pieces for you? Then you wouldn't have to run away from yourself anymore. You could stop running. If someone sees you as something worth staying with— maybe you'll stay with yourself, too."

"Somehow, we'll find it. The balance between whom we wish to be and whom we need to be. But for now, we simply have to be satisfied with who we are."
