“The past does not define you. There will be people who once knew you intimately, but they don’t know you now. They may remember a chapter that once spoke to them, but they don’t get to know the chapters that are coming. You get to write those.”
― Courtney Peppernell, Mending the Mind

“We fear losing friends. We fear losing a shoulder to cry on, someone to laugh with, someone who knows our secrets. Someone who has seen us at our best and worst. We fear losing a friend whom we once relied on.
More than that, we fear the reason they left.
What if it was our fault?”

“It’s difficult to be the best version of yourself all the time. But perhaps life isn’t about that. You don’t have to always be in a good mood; you don’t have to always be sociable or productive. It’s about how much you try, even when it feels like life keeps flipping upside down.”

“You read these things
And you ask the world,
Why doesn’t it happen
To someone like you?

Deep in your heart,
You knew the answer:
It’s because you don’t let it.”
