And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn’t really change the fact that you have what you have
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Everything has it’s beauty, but not everyone sees it
- Andy Warhol
That’s what happens. You let people in, and they destroy you
We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that’s all.
I’m really afraid to feel happy because it never lasts
- Andy Warhol
I’m afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning
- Andy Warhol
I’d say I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’m not. I excel at not giving a shit. Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation begets disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C equals A, or whatever. I also don’t have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell, either way you’re screwed. Bad people are punished by society’s laws, and good people are punished by Murphy’s Law. So you see my dilemma.
Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something. Loves something. And has lost something.
After everything, I still believe this world is a beautiful place.
We’re young and insane
If you’re reading this…
Congratulations, you’re alive
If that’s not something to smile about,
Then I don’t know what is
Simply because you can breathe, doesn’t mean you’re alive, or that you really live

Over thinking ruins you. Ruins the situation, turns things around, makes you worry and just makes everything worse than it actually is.
Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.
What I don’t understand is how a person can tell you so many lies and never feel bad about it.
Here comes the feeling you thought you had forgotten
If you’re looking for a sign, this is it.
The truth always comes out, its one of the fundamental rules of time and when it comes out, it can see you free or send everything you fought so hard for.
I’ll lean on you and you lean on me and we’ll be okay.
- Dave Matthews
Music is a total constant. That’s why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know? Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment.
Under the same sky, dreaming the same dream.
No lies, just love.
- Conor Oberst
