“If you try hard, you will always see results, and it will never be wasted no matter what you end up doing in life.”
― Mizuki Tsujimura, Lonely Castle in the Mirror

“I don't trust my perception of things. That's what my childhood did to me. Made my brain into a fucking fun house where I might think I'm standing on the floor, but really I'm stuck to a wall. I never know if I'm feeling the right thing, and I'm tired of fucking things up for the people I care about."
"I don't think there's a right way to feel," I say. "And you can't control it anyway. Feelings are like weather. They just happen, and then they pass.”
― Emily Henry, Funny Story

“Some people accept that they will never be free of their anxiety, they just learn to carry it. She tried to be one of them. She told herself that was why you should always be nice to other people, even idiots, because you never know how heavy their burden is.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

“They say that a person’s personality is the sum of their experiences. But that isn’t true, at least not entirely, because if our past was all that defined us, we’d never be able to put up with ourselves. We need to be allowed to convince ourselves that we’re more than the mistakes we made yesterday. That we are all of our next choices, too, all of our tomorrows.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People
