The ironies of life. [View all]

To be brave, you must first be terrified.

It's not that things get easier, but rather, it's that you get better at doing those things. You get better at dealing with those things. But those things still remain difficult. It's YOU that is changing, not those "things".

To become wise, you may have to start out as foolish.

One friend can hurt you more than 100 enemies.

Broken people are not fragile. Quite the opposite.

You usually have to fail multiple times before you can internalize a feeling of success.

If other people think you are amazing, but you yourself believe you are useless...believe other people instead of yourself, because they are likely correct, and you are likely wrong.

Happy Sunday!
