I do not miss childhood, but I miss the way I took pleasure in small things, even as greater things crumbled. I could not control the world I was in, could not walk away from things or people or moments that hurt, but I took joy in the things that made me happy.

Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

No matter how bad it is, or how bad it gets, I'm going to make it.

Les Brown

You need someone that loves your soul more than your body

Unknown

Loving me isn't easy, I have sharp edges, I have missing parts.

Donte Collins

WHEN SOMEONE HELPS YOU AND THEY STRUGGLING TOO, THAT’S NOT HELP THAT’S LOVE

Unknown

Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality.

Les Brown

I don't know what living a balanced life feels like. When I am sad, I don't cry, I pour. When I am happy, I don't smile, I glow. When I am angry, I don't yell, I burn. The good thing about feeling in extremes, is when I love, I give them wings. But perhaps that isn't such a good thing, cause they always tend to leave and you should see me, when my heart is broken. I don't grieve, I shatter.

Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

Dolly Parton

You only have so much emotional energy each day. Don’t fight battles that don’t matter.

One of the risks of being quiet is that the other people can fill your silence with their own interpretation: You're bored. You're depressed. You're shy. You're stuck up. You're judgmental. When others can't read us, they write their own story — not always one we choose or that's true to who we are.

Sophia Dembling

Every flower must grow through dirt.

Laurie Jean Sennott

I was quiet; but I was not blind.

Jane Austen

I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (“I’m not a big one for paying compliments…”), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself.

Jonathan Carroll

That's the way it is: If two people want to be together, they'll find a way. They'll forge a way.

Shobha Rao, An Unrestored Woman: And Other Stories

I like criticism. It makes you strong.

LeBron James

Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes. Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You're doing just fine.

Menyambung yang Terputus

Berawal dari doa yang kamu panjatkan setiap hari itu, akhirnya sampailah kamu pada apa yang ditakdirkan untukmu. Tersebab doa yang kamu pintakan pula setiap hari, akhirnya Allah belokkan doamu pada yang terbaik untukmu. Tidak akan pernah menyesal mereka yang mengayuh tujuannya dengan doa setiap hari, sebab batu pun ada masanya ia retak dan hancur, kemarau pun ada masanya ia berpesta dengan hujan yang deras. Sama halnya dengan tujuan yang hari ini selalu kamu doakan. Sabar, sebentar lagi sampai.

Jika tangan manusia tidak mampu merubah, maka biarkan Allah yang turun tangan untuk mengurusnya. Mudah kok bagi Allah itu, tidak ada yang sulit sedikit pun. Yang menjadikannya rumit itu karena doamu yang akhirnya terputus, termakan oleh rasa dan prasangka “kapan akan Allah kabulkan ya, sepertinya mustahil”. 

Biasakan lagi hatimu untuk mengadu dan meminta, rajinkan lagi lisanmu memohon dan mengharap pada-Nya, dan lanjutkan lagi doa yang dulu sering kamu ucapkan namun kini terputus. Sebab langit tahu bukan kapan ia harus menurunkan hujan?

Nobody ever really knows how much anyone else is hurting. You could be standing next to somebody who is completely broken and you wouldn't even know it. That's why you should always try to be kind.
