The reason people hate silence is because absolute silence is a spitting image of death.
Death is not the greatest loss in life. Loss is life dying inside of us while we are alive.
It almost feels like a joke, playing the part, when you're not the starring role in someone else's heart. ~M.D.
Sadness is like a drug, it takes you away from reality and makes you see the world in a whole new way.
Just because my eyes don't tear up
Doesn't mean my heart doesn't cry
And just because I come off strong
Doesn't mean there's nothing wrong
I lost myself trying to please everyone, but now I'm losing everyone trying to fix myself
Rome wasn't built in a day, but it burned in one.
The saddest type of sad is the kind that tries not to be sad. You know, the sad that makes you bite your lip and not cry and smile and say "no, I'm happy for you." That type of sad.
A shot to kill the pain, a pill to drain the shame. A Purge to stop the gain, a cut to break the vein. A smoke to ease the crave, and a drink to win the game. An addiction is an addiction because it all hurts the same.
I like to be left alone, but when people don’t notice I’m absent, it hurts. And I know it’s my own fault, for becoming invisible, for isolating myself but just once I want someone to notice.To really notice and to truly care.
Speak the truth even if your voice shakes.
I have noticed that, people who claim everything is predetermined and that we can do nothing to change the future, still look both ways when crossing the street.
You only live once? False. You live every day, you only die once.
There are 2 days in everybody’s life that are less than 24 hours long. The day they’re born and the day they die.
Trust is like glass, the tiniest crack can shatter who you are.

Breakups are hard.
They devastate and destroy you, slowly, from the inside out and the worst part is that in the end there are no happy endings.
There's you and me and both of us are miserable, hurt and utterly alone.
I used to think that the only people who could break your heart were the ones you were dating.
Which is probably why I didn't realize that during our time together I had given you every. single. piece. of me including my heart.
It's why I couldn't imagine the pain it would cause when you took my heart and gave it back to me in the form of accusations and broken promises.
Even though I know that in the end, in our final moments playing this game of 'love' we both lost, it still feels like you left with every part of me and I was stuck here with nothing but a broken heart and the memories of who you used to be.
Maybe you did win in the end,but not the you that started playing; that you would've never left me so broken, that you would've never broken me in the first place.
I knew, I knew you changed. I didn't want to believe it until I saw it with my own eyes.
I saw you turn yourself inside out, completely differen from the you I gave my heart to.
And when I tried to take it back you didn't let go, no, instead you took both hands and pulled my heart in so many directions I was left with nothing but shreds to hold on to.
I know it's been a while since you tore me apart but I guess even during all that time I never realized just how many pieces of my heart you still hold.
I guess one perk to being torn apart is that when people ask me if I know you and the million memories run through my head, they don't question the sadness behind my eyes when I force a smile and say that I used to.
my trick for getting through grad school is learning to navigate the quadrants with all their nuances
i think "it takes a village" shouldn't be just "to raise a child". we should understand it takes a village to do literally everything we do. all day every day. without our communities we would not have drinking water or electricity or clean streets or food or shelter or anything. we cannot do any thing alone. we just can't. and with that comes the fact that you are not alone. you already have a community, seek to be an active part of it, you will feel better. reach out and thank them, they're happy to have you too. i promise. it takes a village to live.
