The older I get, the more I realize how valuable it is to let go of the anchors holding you back.
When someone makes a mistake, forgive them. When someone wrongs you, move on. When someone slights you, let it go. When someone tells you they didn’t mean it, believe them. When someone tries to pull you down, let them go.
Moving forward helps a lot and doesn’t cost a thing.

Books are a special kind of poison. They soothe every ache inside of you while making you long for things that don’t exist. They make you feel alive while simultaneously making life seem more and more dull with every page you read. Reading makes you feel less alone and yet it creates an ache for companionship - the likes of which you will never know outside of those pages.
Books are a poison I wish I had never drunk, but now that I have - it’s the one thing keeping me alive.

You become what you give your attention to …
If you yourself don’t choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will!

For a word to be spoken there must be silence.
Both before and after.
