Insight By Laura
A list of quotes that came from my own brain.... these were used in an essay I wrote that helped me cope with something I didn't feel comfortable talking about. hope you like them and don't forget to tell me what you think ;)
~The best and worst things in life happen on the whim; unexpectedly. It’s difficult to find opportunities when we search for them; it’s easy when we let them find us. Sometimes we have to take control of our lives and other times life takes control of us. Accept it, appreciate the best of things, and learn to improve on the worst of things.
~When we act in self-interest; when we leave in a hurry without any explanation, we forget to consider how this might affect somebody else. Missed opportunities can be overlooked but they beg the question: what if?
~It’s not as complicated as it may seem to forgive someone for their wrongdoings, that is, when the wrong being done is minor. But sometimes even the simplest mistakes hide a more severe conflict which may take a while to uncover or perhaps we avoid it because we so badly want to believe it isn’t there.
~It’s the tiniest moments that occupy the biggest space in our hearts; the shortest instances that have the longest affect in our lives.
~Beauty is in the eyes of its beholder. Not everyone will agree that one girl is beautiful but the one voice to whisper these words can settle the ongoing dispute between who she is and what idealism is forcing her to become.
~Not everything needs to go well in order to feel happy. We all just need a single reason to smile and it will make our problems dissolve entirely. Pretending comes naturally. Knowing when to come back to reality takes practice because the truth is not always what we want it to be.
~No matter how fast we run, the truth catches up to us in time. With it comes pain.
~It was you who carried feelings yet they somehow got passed on to me. It was you who faced the possibility of pain and now I’m the one who bares it. Your cause became my effect; your actions became my suffering. You left me to pick up the broken pieces of an image that was real for a second and shattered the next.
~I wish that things were different; I’d turn back time if I could
But destiny knows better than I; things happened the way they should
Still you left me with a voice that’s only strong enough to mumble
You’ll never know the meaning of pain or what its like to crumble
~One must empty what is too full in order to fill what is empty.
~Mistakes show that we can damage. Guilt shows that we can fix.
~I have to keep replaying the memories in my head. It's getting harder to remember all that you said. My mind is clouded with fantasies that do not exist. I wouldn't be feeling this pain had we never kissed. But if given the option, I'd still take the fall. It is better to see it end then never see it at all.
~I thought that you could heal me. But this was all a lie. I thought you really cared for me until you made me cry.
~Despite all my efforts, it will always be true--that you'll never care for me as I care for you. The circumstances are irreversible so they seem. I am not chasing you but rather a dream.
~I can tell you it's okay but only if you'll stay.
