“The present is known. The future is unknown. The present is solid. The future is abstract. Ruining the present by worrying about the future is like burning your most treasured possession simply because you might one day lose other possessions that you don't own yet.”
― Matt Haig, The Comfort Book

“There will be other days. And other feelings.”
― Matt Haig, The Comfort Book

“I used to worry about fitting in until I realized the reason I didn't fit in was because I didn't want to.”
― Matt Haig, The Comfort Book

“External events are neutral. They only gain positive or negative value the moment they enter our minds. It is ultimately up to us how we greet these things. It’s not always easy, sure, but there is a comfort in knowing it is possible to view any single thing in multiple ways. It also empowers us, because we aren’t at the mercy of the world we can never control, we are at the mercy of a mind we can, potentially, with effort and determination, begin to alter and expand. Our mind might make prisons, but it also gives us keys.”
― Matt Haig, The Comfort Book
