Maybe You Have To Know The Darkness Before You Can Appreciate The Light.

Maybe you have to know the darkness before you can appreciate the light.

— Madeleine L'Engle

Being a good person is a choice. Don’t let people fool you into believing that truly good people never have bad thoughts, are never tempted by the easier path, by the low road, never mess up or act out selfishly. Never believe a person can be good without making a conscious effort.

Every single time you do something good, you’ve made a decision to make the world a little brighter.

Goodness is not an inherent trait, it is a choice. Keep making it! I see you, I’m proud of you, and I’m rooting for you!

Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind

Time just distracts you from some of them. Some types of wounds just do not heal. They may be hidden under the mat, but they all come back after 2 am...

“Does time heal all wounds? Time does not wait or care for you, whether you have it good or bad, whether you are ready for that next step or not, whether you have started getting over that one thing already. It just passes by at the same rate, reminding you of all your sorrows, giving your sorrows a time and day, as if it is there solely to mock you. So to answer your question, no I do not think time heals all wounds.”
