Understand that there is no one else who can fulfill your dreams for you and that you must have the courage to face scrutiny and rejection without losing your determination. The "can do" attitude is underappreciated and often dismissed as false optimism, but it saved my life by reminding me over and over that if others can do it, why can't I? It saved me from self-pitying, from insanity, from becoming complacent about not being okay, and from stagnation by reminding myself that if others can, why can't I? I had no idea that I would be able to save myself from situations that I had never imagined I would be able to overcome. It won't hurt to shift your perspective if what you already believe

“Okay, so what made you need to take a break from him?” “Everything,” I replied. “I feel like I’m so addicted to him that that’s all I am. I’m not Brenda anymore. I’m just…addicted. I obsess over him literally all the time. I can’t do it anymore—I have to be me, too. It hurts.” “So don’t let yourself be that bad.” “Really? Years of studying to understand the human mind and all you’ve got is, ‘Don’t let yourself be that bad’? I figured that out without the degree.” I rolled my eyes and placed my hand on my stomach.

If you are that person, I want to thank you for being you. But you are an idiot as well. You can't keep taking care of them without taking care of yourself. People have used you, right? They have said the sweet things and then left you bitter in your heart, right? You have done so much for others, but they left you with an excuse when you needed them, right? You have always been helping others, but you have felt helpless when you were down in life, right? I know your soul is nodding in yes. I know your heart is whispering a yes too. I know that you have always known this. You have tried to become a cold, selfish person. But you failed miserably. You failed because you did that out of frustra

He says and I stopped walking before I opened the door. “This is all a stupid joke.” Like the kind of joke you tell in kindergarten and makes I hope that everyone forgets when you get to elementary or middle school. Do you hear yourself right now? Did you broke my heart so I could be broken. And you told yourself that…that would make me strong. Who are you to decide what I need? In myself. To make me strong or make me weak? Where in the world have you heard that breaking somebody's heart or being hard on someone or making someone believe that you cheated on them.

I started typing. Not a to-do list. Not a message. Just… thoughts. Things I needed to remind myself. You are not your past. You are not your depression. You are not your mistakes. You are not your fears. You are not defined by who you were when you were hurting. You are allowed to grow. You are allowed to change. You are allowed to choose differently. You are allowed to love without losing yourself. You are allowed to walk away if something no longer serves you. You are allowed to stay if something still does.

Devin POV The best way to become the best version of yourself is to make sure that you don’t become the different person that others love to be with. Convenience was the bane of everyone’s existence. Firstly, it was because there was going to become even better and there wasn’t going to be anyone who would have a second look at what was going on. I have already found the next ideas to use on festus but I would also be a bit worried if I don’t do anything that’s going to cut me off strong and deep.

"I like that you're not afraid to be enthusiastic about stuff. Like, you don't try to act cool or too mature for things like arcades or hiking or making pancakes. You just live in them. You... You enjoy them, and you don't apologize for it." "That's because I spent too many years trying to be someone I wasn't," he said quietly. "Trying to be cooler, more aloof, whatever I thought I needed to be to make people like me. And it was fucking exhausting. So I just started being myself and figured if people didn't like it, fuck 'em." "I like it," I said. "I like you. Really." "Just not falling yet." "No... not like, But... but that doesn't mean..."

“I feel like disappearing.” Jonas spoke then—quiet, steady. “You don’t have to disappear,” he said. “You can take a break. Quit the library if you need to. Take time. Heal. But disappearing means letting him win. Letting them win. The people who watched. The people who shared. The man who filmed. Don’t give them that power. You’re still here. You’re still you. And you’re allowed to take up space. Even broken. Even hurting. Even ashamed. You’re allowed.”

Noah The weird thing about bad habits is that you never fully understand how much space they’ve taken up in your life until you try to break them. For weeks I had built entire routines around Theo without ever admitting that was exactly what I was doing.

It had become completely automatic, a reflex I performed without thinking.
