Having anxiety and depression is like being scared and tired at the same time.
It's the fear of failure but no urge to be productive.
It's wanting friends but not being able to socialize.
It's wanting to be alone but not wanting to be lonely.
It's caring about everything and caring about nothing at the same time.
It's feeling everything at once and feeling paralyzingly numb.
Nobody is perfect, and nobody deserves to be perfect.
Nobody has it easy, everybody has issues.
You never know what people are going through.
So pause before you start judging, criticizing, or mocking others.
Everybody is fighting their own unique war.
As we grow older together,
as we continue to change with age,
there is one thing that will never change...
I will always keep falling in love with you.
I've made mistakes in my life.
I've let people take advantage of me, and accepted way less than I deserve.
But I've learned from my bad choices, and even though there are some things I can never get back and people who will never be sorry, I'll know better next time, and I won't settle for anything less than I deserve.
One day it just clicks.
You realize what's important and what isn't.
You learn to care less about what other people think of you and more about what you think of yourself.
You realize how far you've come and you remember when you thought things were such a mess that you would never recover.
And you smile.
You smile because you are truly proud of yourself and the person you've fought to become.
"Time heals all wounds" isn't true. The pain lessens as we learn to deal with it, but it's never truly completely gone. We're simply forced to accept something that we cannot change, and it leaves a scar upon us that never goes away. You'll still have these moments sometimes when it hurts really bad.
Everyone you meet is fighting a battle that you know nothing about.
Be kind.
Always.
Sometimes, crying is the only way your eyes can speak when your mouth can't explain how broken your heart is.
My pain might be the reason for someone's laughter, but my laughter will never be the reason for someone's pain.
