Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie | Broma Bakery

How do you live? How do you spend an eternity knowing that everything you have put so much thought into might not end up meaning anything tomorrow ? How do you live with yourself knowing the things you have done? Are you even happy or are you just surviving? How many people have you positively impacted in your life? How many people look up to you? How many people do you look up to ? What do you aspire to be? How bad do you want it? Are you just living or are you living with a cause to make a change? Think Fast Time is Flying By.

“Accept the fact that you will grow apart from people you’ve had significant relationships with. Understand when someone no longer positively affects your life. Let them go. Don’t hinder your growth.”

— Lyjeeria

“Sometimes it’s good to just live life silently. Pay attention to your thoughts as they come and go, and reflect upon your feelings. Sometimes being overly social can offset our inner peace.”
