“Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.”
— Andrew Boyd, Daily Afflictions: The Agony of Being Connected to Everything in the Universe (Published January 17th 2002 by W. W. Norton Company) (via themindmovement)
“Inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions.”— Pema Chodron
My Mind: Tell me something that you can’t live without.
Me: I can’t live without people. It is impossible to replace the teachings, memories, and emotions that I’ve obtained through human contact.
Whether it be good or bad… Or completely ordinary.
I thank every person who was apart of my life in the past. Those memories will always be with me when you are not.
I thank every person who stand with me now in the present. You give me strength and find peace from loneliness.
I will thank every person who will be apart of my future. Those teachings will be what will motivate and inspire me to be better.

I spent all day doing sidequests instead of progressing the main story
I know you’re talking about a videogame but this is actually a really good metaphor for my life
I’m having one of the lowest of nights. Looking through old pictures over the last 4 to 5 years makes me realize what I’ve accomplished, how happy I was, and the close bonds I’ve lost with people who were so close to me.
I feel so low and I wish I had company instead of notifications. I wish I was able to talk to someone instead of receiving pictures of dicks. I wish I was able to confide and find peace; instead of living I feel like my depression is consuming me again.
The biggest coward is a man who awakens a woman’s love with no intention of loving her.
