Quote by <n>Martino di Napoli Rampolla</n>. Graphic by <n>BEAR</n>.

Self-care isn't always pretty, it's not always candles and a bathtub full of roses, sometimes it's forcing yourself to get out of bed and dragging yourself, sometimes it's the pep talk you give yourself or the quick cry in the corner. Sometimes it convincing yourself to do all these things you should be doing but you have no will whatsoever, sometimes it's cutting some ties no matter how precious they were, sometimes it's the bitter medicine you need to give yourself. Self-care isn't always pretty but it's always worth it.

Be the kind of person who isn't afraid to ask someone if they are okay twice if they say they are, but look like they aren't. Be the kind of person who smiles at people even if they don't smile back. Be the kind of person you wished for when no one was there for you. Be the kind of person who is brave enough to stand alone in a crowd for what is right. Be that person because we need more people like that in the world. Be that person because people like that are rarer than the rarest diamonds and gold.

L'ultime épreuves où tu affrontes la pire souffrance morale, c'est quand la peine rejoint l'impuissance.

You wanna know what it is? I think there comes a time in every woman's life when she realizes that it's gonna be okay, and that she's gonna be okay. A time when she stops putting other people before herself and starts feeling good about putting herself all the way first. A time when she's ready to take back the control over her for a change... and that's where I'm at right now. I'm in that time zone, and I'm finally doing right by me.

The ones who notice the storms in your eyes, the silence in your voice and the heaviness in your heart are the ones you need to let in.

Be with the person that winks at you when you say something crazy instead of the person that kicks you under the table because you've embarrassed them.

Despite everything, no one can dictate who you are to other people.

Find someone who pays attention. Who ruin their fingers over your every scar; and asks where each one came from. Find someone who knows how you like your coffee; what song makes you want to roll the windows down and slam on the gas pedal. Find someone who takes in your smallest details; who notices the things you thought no one ever would. And then... When you find them... Be their someone too.

Do not try to make sense of my madness or structure my chaos. Love me as I am or leave me be, for this wild heart was not born to be tamed.

The Universe will remove people and places from your life, not because you did something wrong to make them leave and not because they have turned their back on you, but because they cannot go to the level that the Universe is taking you to. They will hinder and affect you at your next level because they have already served their purpose in your life. Let those people and places go because the Universe says that greater things are coming your way. The Universe is in charge of protecting you and your highest good. Trust when it decides to re-route and guide you. The Universe knows what it's doing.

Sometimes being your own hero means acknowledging the victories no one sees; like getting out of bed, taking a shower, replacing an old story with a new one, or practicing self-love. Many of our greatest victories aren't recognized by others. There's no medal or badge of honour. There's just you. Clap for yourself.

The worst part about anything that's self-destructive is that it's so intimate. You become so close with your addictions and illnesses that leaving them behind is like killing the part of yourself that taught you how to survive.

C'est quoi le lâcher-prise? Le lâcher-prise ce n'est pas rien faire. Au contraire, c'est une action volontaire et dynamique. C'est continuer à agir sans s'en préoccuper. Lâcher prise, c'est renoncer à tout contrôler, c'est renoncer à prouver quoi que ce soit, c'est accepter que l'autre est l'autre et que moi-même… je suis qui je suis et non pas qui j'avais rêvé d'être. Lâcher-prise, c'est cesser de faire le procès de la vie qui ne nous donne pas ce que nous en attendions. À partir du moment où l'on peut lâcher prise, où l'on ne désire plus être heureux à tout prix, on découvre que le bonheur, c'est cette capacité de garder les mains ouvertes plutôt que de les laisser agrippés sur ce que nous croyons nous être indispensable.

Sad is something I can deal with when I'm aware of its source. When I'm able to take time out to develop a solution and work my way back to a healthier state of mind. It's the not knowing that kills me. This vague air of unhappiness I cannot understand, escape, or destroy.

\- Beau Taplin

Please don't expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.

Stay away from 'still' people. Still broke, still complaining, still hating, and still nowhere.

the closer you get to excellence in your life, the more friends you'll lose. people love you when you're average because it makes them comfortable. but when you pursue greatness it makes people uncomfortable. be prepared to lose some people on your journey.

Sometimes, the only way to move on is to identify what the experience has taught you, then develop a sense of closure on your own. Other people rarely provide you with the closure you're actually looking for. Instead, they tend to just frustrate you more with more lies and half-truths. I won't let 'needing closure' be the only reason why I stick around for someone's mind games.

'Sometimes the things you want the most don't happen and what you least expect happens. I don't know - you meet thousands of people and none of them really touch you. And then you meet one person and your life is changed forever.'

\- Love and other drugs (2010)

The problem with the heart is how it can have so many opposite feelings coursing through it all at the same time. It's really an inconsistant thing - appreciating something one minute and hating it the next.

'Boredom: it's what makes you bounce back with a renewed commitment. (...) Let yourself go to the sense of being disconnected and meaningless. Let it wash over you and drown you a little bit before you come up gasping for air.'
