Things are sweeter when they’re lost. I know—because once I wanted something and got it. It was the only thing I ever wanted badly… And when I got it it turned to dust in my hands.

You are good at something, stop lying to yourself. You’re good at breaking down comic book plots, cooking ramen perfectly, making your friends happy, knowing the time without looking at a clock, getting the perfect ending at RPG’s, or figuring out the twist ending to movies. Don’t let society tell you your talents are meaningless because they don’t serve an economical purpose. Your talents reflect your interests and passions, and what’s important to you is important.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

Day 142: how have you changed in the past 2 years

I have gained so much experience in the past two years, especially in the social relationships. Because of that, I have gotten a clearer view of relationships, both romantically and friendly.

As a human being my personality changes by second, you will never be the same person you were a second ago.

But for more concrete examples then I have matured a lot in some aspects. Especially socially since I have gotten less shy and aloof, and instead I have started to turn into more of a social able person.

I have also started to get more independent and stopped being dependent on people close to me, I am trying to get out of my comfort zone and try new things to evolve me into a more self confident me.

I am also not as negative as I was for almost a year ago, I am trying to be more of an optimist and think everything in a positive light. And most of all; I have stopped hating people, or at least I have reduced my hate for people. Also for the persons who have hurt me the most. Forgiveness is the key to your own happiness since hate never benefits anyone.

People understand me so poorly that they don’t even understand my complaint about them not understanding me.
- Søren Kierkegaard (via sayyestotreats)
