Scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue. Realize the strength, move on.

I'll never forget how the depression and loneliness felt good and bad at the same time. Still does.

Somewhere someone is thinking of you. Someone is calling you an angel.

Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.

Girls aren't beautiful, they're pretty. Beautiful is too heavy a word to assign to a girl. Women are beautiful because their faces show that they know they have lost something and picked up something else.

Half of life is fucking up, the other half is dealing with it.

Don't do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul. When you go to work, work your ass off. When you hate someone, hate them until it hurts.

I am ready for whatever's coming. I expect nothing but to be let down or turned away. I am alone. Goddamn. The shit hurts sometimes, but I realize what I am, what I have become.

I think about the meaning of pain. Pain is personal. It really belongs to the one feeling it. Probably the only thing that is your own. I like mine.

I definitely learned a lesson this time. I know that I can be broken. I am not as tough as I thought. I see it now. At this point, it's the only thing good that came out of all of this. I know myself better now and know what I have to do.

My optimism wears heavy boots and is loud.

Do it or don't. It's amazing how many things in life are that easy.

Yes, I guess you could say I am a loner but I feel more lonely in a crowed room with boring people than I feel on my own.
