“I learned that I cannot demand love from anyone. I can only give good reasons for them to like me… and be patient for life to do the rest.”

You must grow without direction. The moment you try to control it is the moment it is no longer your true self.

Everyone wonders, maybe often, but at least at some point, about the influence they have on other people. And I hear people saying no one would care if they weren’t here. But think about all the people that you care about or have cared about who have no idea about it. I have a high school teacher I haven’t seen in ten years who I still tell people was the best teacher I ever had and he has no clue. I have old coworkers, people I met on vacation, acquaintances that I’m only friends with on social media now and haven’t seen in years, who I would be really upset about if something happened to them. We secretly care about so many people but act like it’s impossible that anyone cares about us. That’s illogical- people do. A lot of people do, even if you can’t see it.

“i miss how my life used to be. i want to get pieces of my past back, but i also cannot wait to run into my future. what an awful thing it is to miss out on today while worrying about many yesterdays and tomorrows.”

— a regretful way to live life.
