“As you get older, you realize that you’re not always right and there’s so many things you could’ve handled better, so many situations where you could’ve been kinder and all you can really do is forgive yourself and let your mistakes make you a better person.”
- Lyjerria
“I’ve learned to really live my life, and not worry so much about documenting every split second of it. The most magical, exquisite, spontaneous things happen when there is no time to grab your phone. The best moments of my life have been too fragile, too fleeting, too magical to even try to document them with a camera. And I wish you a lifetime of moments too beautiful to capture on film.”
- Taylor Swift
“Don’t settle for nice, for pleasant, for familiar. Keep looking until you find something that really moves you, that resonates with your core. And I mean this for people, for interests, for hobbies, for your possessions, clothes, music, books, art. Everything. Curate every aspect of your life as much as you can. It’s in the things that deeply inspire us that we find ourselves.”

“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.”
- Ernest Hemingway
“It’s interesting to note that the most kind and courageous souls you meet in life tend to be those who’ve faced the most cruelty and conflict. This vicious world might sharpen us like a blade, but whether we use that power to protect people or cause them pain, is always our choice.”
- Beau Taplin
“People want to have nice things, so they work hard, sometimes too hard. Unaware that the nicest things are free, but can’t be owned. Only experienced.”
- J. M. Storm
“Your mental health is more important than your career, money, other people’s opinions, that event you said you would attend, your partner’s mood and your families wishes, combined.
If taking care of yourself means letting someone down, then let someone down.”
- Steven Bartlett
“I think probably kindness is my number one attribute in a human being. I’ll put it before any of the things like courage or bravery or generosity or anything else... Kindness - that simple word. To be kind - it covers everything, to my mind. If you’re kind that’s it.”
- Roald Dahl
“I think it’s brave that you get up in the morning when your heart aches and life is messy and you do not feel like being soft for the world. I think it’s brave that you continue to love, and express, and open your soul despite the way you were treated in the past. I think it’s brave that you keep going, that you keep believing in something more, something bigger, even you may not know what you are hoping for. I think it’s brave that you fight, I think it’s brave that you choose, every single day, to move forward - because that’s what makes you strong.”
- Bianca Sparacino
“Be the kind of person who isn’t afraid to ask someone if they are okay twice if they say they are, but look like they aren’t. Be the kind of person who smiles at people even if they don’t smile back. Be the kind of person you wished for when no one was there for you. Be the kind of person who is brave enough to stand alone in a crowd for what is right. Be that person because we need more people like that in the world. Be that person because people like that are rarer than the rarest diamonds and gold.”
- Nikita Gill
“Your worth is not dependent on having achieved traditionally age-appropriate milestones.”
- Chani Nicholas
“Has anyone ever noticed how people only love the ocean when the sun is out? Once darkness settles, breeze kicks in and sharks come out to play, no one wants to swim among its waves. And I hope I have never made someone feel like that… As if they’re only admirable in light. As if their darkness wasn’t worth exploring. Because it’s when the sun sets that I sit on the shore, and stare at the ocean in awe.”
- Alondra P
“One of the most bittersweet feelings has to be when you realize how much you’re going to
miss a moment while you’re still living it.”
- Anon
“Not everybody is beautiful. I’m tired of hearing that. But everybody has the ability to be. You are as beautiful as the things you do, the words you say, and the intentions of your heart. You are as beautiful as you let yourself become.”
- K.P.K.
“My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me.”
- Imam Al-Shafi’i
“I want to apologize to all the women
I have called pretty
before I’ve called them intelligent or brave.
I am sorry I made it sound as though
something as simple as what you’re born with
is the most you have to be proud of
when your spirit has crushed mountains.
From now on i will say things like, you are resilient
or, you are extraordinary.
Not because i don’t think you’re pretty,
but because you are so much more than that.”
- Rupi Kaur
“There is a rare breed of people that go all in. They keep their word, they give it all, they go the extra mile for those they care for. These individuals hardly ever receive the same passion and effort in return, yet never change and always give their all. Hoping that one day maybe, just maybe they find someone as rare as them to love them as fiercely and with as much devotion. To the givers, forgivers, and selfless lovers out there… keep being beautiful, don’t let this cold world change you, and take advantage of every little moment you are given.”
- Unknown
“At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can.”
- Frida Kahlo
“Maybe the little things that you consider your weakness are actually the things that people treasure most about you. Maybe you hate that you care too much. Or that you wear your heart on your sleeve… But seriously, some people think that’s the best damn thing about you. We all have different little things that make up who we are, we don’t need to change those things, but we can choose who we share them with.”
- Charlotte Freeman
“Give. Even when you know you can get nothing back.”
