I’m a paradox. I want to be happy, but I think of things that make me sad. I’m lazy, yet I’m ambitious. I don’t like myself, but I also love who I am. I say I don’t care, but I really do. I crave attention, but reject it when it comes my way. I’m a conflicted contradiction.
"your trauma made u stronger".
No, my trauma made me traumatized. It made me weak, it gave me memory loss, and it gave me feelings I’ve never wanted. I made myself stronger by dragging myself out of a dark place and dealing with consequences that weren’t my fault.
Never feel guilty from taking a break from people (even from your best friends). Sometimes you won't be able to listen to anyone's stories. Sometimes you won't be able to hang out. Sometimes you won't be able to tell jokes and cheer up everyone.
The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
It’s all in your mind. If you continue to believe as you have always believed, you will continue to act as you have always acted, you will continue to get what you have always gotten. If you want different results in your life or your work, all you have to do is change your mind.
