Quotes

I found all of these quotes on Tumblr… today is a quotes day because I’m not really feeling like myself and I want to do something that could be productive for me as well as everyone reading these quotes.

“You wake up every morning to fight the same demons that left you so tired the night before and that, my love, is bravery.”

“We are all broken, that’s how the light gets in.”

“Today in science class, I learned every cell in our entire body is replaced every seven years. How lovely it is to know one day I will have a body you will have never touched.”

“If it hurts so much that you can’t breathe; that’s when you know you’re alive.”

“Recovery is not one single choice that you make one day and just move on. It’s a choice and a decision that you must make multiple times every day. When you wake up; when you shower; when you go to work; when you have to take an early lunch break; or have to grab a snack on the go. It is a commitment that first it feels heavy and impossible but as you continue to commit day after day; it becomes less of a conscious decision. It becomes less of a conscious decision You begin to learn that choosing recovery and choosing life is worth it in the long term; that the short-term discomfort and anxiety can be manageable if you start to believe that you are truly worth it.”

“Do not let anyone strip you down and burn you to the ground, this includes yourself. You do NOT need to rise from unnecessary ashes to become something beautiful.”

“It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to scream until your lungs give out. I know you feel like there is no way out. I know that you feel that this pain is eternal, that you’re worthless. I know you hate yourself, but I want you to know that it’s okay. It is okay to cry. It is okay to scream. To punch. To kick. To go insane. But darling please don’t give up.”

“You want to know why you’re so afraid to recover? It’s because the demons know that you’re so much more than all of the shit you’re going through now. So they paralyze you with fear, hoping to keep you blinded from seeing the truth of your own strength. Prove them wrong get better. Have that control you’ve wanted all along. You can do this.”

“I can see it. This one moment when you know you’re not a sad story. You’re alive and you stand up and see the light and the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you’re listening to that song in that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment, I swear, we are infinite.”
