“From childhood’s hour I have not been. As others were, I have not seen. As others saw, I could not awaken. My heart to joy at the same tone. And all I loved, I loved alone.”
―Edgar Allan Poe
Quotes
Unlike Simple Stress
“Unlike simple stress, trauma changes your view of your life and yourself. It shatters your most basic assumptions about yourself and your world — “Life is good,” “I’m safe,” “People are kind,” “I can trust others,” “The future is likely to be good” — and replaces them with feelings like “The world is dangerous,” “I can’t win,” “I can’t trust other people,” or “There’s no hope.” ―Mark Goulston
Never Let Your Fear…
“Never let your fear decide your future.” –Unknown
Every Setback
“Every setback is a setup for a comeback. G-d wants to bring you out better than you were before.” –Unknown
G-d has His work cut out for Him. I hope He’s calling in backup! 😦
I Can’t Believe
“I can’t believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary.” –Lou Holtz
You Are Valuable
“You are valuable and irreplaceable. If you are ever told otherwise, do not believe it.” –Unknown
We Are
“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.” –Unknown
You’re Not A Failure
“You’re not a failure until you stop trying. If you have no other testimony you have this one: “I’m still here.” –Unknown
Unfortunately, sometimes we fail no matter how hard we try. And to be quite honest, I’m tired of the whole “I’m still here” part. Damn tired of it. 😦
True Friends
“True friends are like diamonds, precious and rare. False friends are like leaves, found everywhere.” –Unknown
We All Have Scars
“We all have scars; both inside and out. Use your experience to support those who are going down the same road of destruction you once went down. Know that your past is worth more than the pain you once carried, because it can now be used to comfort and give strength to another soul who is suffering. Cherish your trials and tribulations as gifts; embrace these opportunities to share the grace you have been given.” ―Katie Maslin
