“Introversion is not something you fix via extroversion. You fix it by seeing it as something not to be fixed. So let introversion exist. Allow those journeys inward as well as outward.”

“No single feeling becomes the only feeling if you let it all happen. And the way to let it all happen is to see the value in it all, in everything. To see the way the dark might lead to the light and the way present pain might lead to future hope.”
― Matt Haig, The Comfort Book

“The only way ultimately to deal with uncertainty is to accept uncertainty, because we can't escape it. However we choose to schedule our calendars and time table, uncertainty still remains. This is a stubbornly uncertain world and we just have to deal with that. And one way to deal with it, is to see the value in uncertainty. You see far from being a curse, uncertainty can be a source of hope. Okay so yes it means that the things we are looking forward to might not be as good as we want them to be. But it also mean the things we dread might not be as terrible as we imagine.”
― Matt Haig, The Comfort Book

“In this world of interdependence, opposite emotions are also connected. As William Blake put it "joy and woe are woven fine". I know this because one of the reasons I love life is because I was once suicidal. I have sincerely known moments of content in my life for having gone through years of hell.”
