Me : Wow, I'm finally finding my flow. I love this quote, can't believe i wrote it.
Anxiety : Well, well. It's not that great. People think you're just a pretentious writer.
Me : No they don't. I actually write my own feelings, i think they relate to my words.
Anxiety : aww you wish. They hate you, and your art. Your writeups suck and your style is bad.
Me : No it isn't. Is it? IS IT? What if you're right? And what if I'm actually a bad writer. What if people actually think I'm pretentious. Yes anxiety, i guess you're right. Thank you, let me think about it all night, and get back to you.
“I can’t exactly describe how I feel but it’s not quite right. And it leaves me cold.”
— F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Soulmates aren’t just lovers.”
— Ryn Weaver
Casted shadows are beautiful until they're casted by your memories, or traumas. Who would dance in the shadows casted by nightmares?

"We have a choice. We can embrace our humanness, which means embracing our broken natures and the compassion that remains our best hope for healing. Or we can deny our brokenness, forswear compassion, and, as a result, deny our own humanity"
Bryan Stevenson
