“Just go ahead and feel what you feel. Don't cheer up!”

"... light and darkness are part of the same thing. Happiness and unhappiness alternate throughout life, as in a dance."

"Life is all about getting better and getting worse and getting better again, so getting worse is a natural part of life and I just have to learn to deal with it."

"... but if life gives one more suffering than death, shouldn't we respect their right to end life? .... Is living until the end really a triumph in every case? As if there can be any true winning or losing in this game of life."

“are you saying you see yourself from men's perspective?" fuck men fuck patriarchy fuck social norms fuck beauty standards

“To tell the truth, no one was looking down on me except myself.”

“Everyone has multiple sides to them, happiness and unhappiness coexists, and everything is relative.“
