“Listen to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when you don't believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project them into the future. Be brave; be strong; take your pills. Exercise because it's good for you even if every step weighs a thousand pounds. Eat when food itself disgusts you. Reason with yourself when you have lost your reason.”

“Waterfalls of Kindness
You say I love too much

In a world where you can
Give and live
I drip in kindness
And watch it trickle
Because sometimes
The most important words
Are the ones we cannot hear”

“Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you.”
