Afraid of expressing.

This feeling we get before we reveal our true emotions to another person is just killer. Because we planned everything exactly how it’s supposed to be, and what we’re supposed to say, but then.. when you’re in the moment.. your mind just goes blank. And it’s frustrating. It’s frustrating because you’re trying to get a hold of your life, and you’re trying to control it, but you can’t. You can’t control human emotion; you can’t control reaction.

I, too, was cautious of expressing my emotions and what I felt. I was scared to show them because I was concerned for the judgment of others, thinking I’d be “weak.” but then, as an inspiring person told me:

“Why are you scared of expressing your emotions? It doesn’t mean you’re weak; it means you’re strong enough to show that you don’t care how others will perceive you for being you. And if they don’t like it.. they can just fuck off. At least you’re content in knowing that you’re in a place where free will isn’t something to be ashamed of.”

I’m really lucky to have such wonderful mentors in my life, aren’t I?

"The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy."

"I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had. I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to say.. when people run in circles it’s a very, very, mad world."

"They don’t know you. People are afraid of what they don’t know."

"Sometimes I think God took my hands away so I could touch the world with my heart."

"Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night’s sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too."

"That is the simple secret. Always take your heart to work."

"You are given as many chances in life as there are stars in the galaxy. Never say it’s impossible to have another chance at something again."

Because I can get really cheesy sometimes.

"One day, you’re going to wake up and find that you have everything you want.. and nothing you need."

"You are transcendent, talented, impassive, passive, gorgeous, commited. To me you are perfect, and I love you very much."

"Start by starting."

"The difference with me is that I’m trying so hard."
