One day, when you least expect it, you are going to crash into someone who is going to be so soft and gentle with your heart, and you are going to be so glad you kept it open. You are going to be so glad you continued to fight for it--that you chose to believe that it deserved more.

Letting go of what is not right for you is not the end for you. It's the beginning...

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. - Thich Nhat Hahn

"Oh, a text! I'll answer it later today when I'm not busy."

..a few days later...

"Oops!"

What people with depression actually mean when they say "I'm tired."

- "I am unable to get pleasure from anything."
- "I feel like a burden."
- "I'm tired of falling a smile."
- "I feel numb."
- "I don't see the point in doing anything."
- "I'm tired of being at war with mt mind."

Now, for my own additions:
- "It's more acceptable for you to hear that I'm tired than depressed. Maybe you'll think I've been working hard and so I have earned this lethargy."

- "Trying to decide how to answer your question of 'How are you?' is exhausting: I either fake being fine or I risk being vulnerable and receiving the proverbial wince. I'll just say 'I'm tired.'

- "I can't believe I woke up yet again feeling powerless again. I'd rather go back to bed."

You don't have to make yourself small to make other people comfortable.

"A society that suppresses the feminine shall suffer spiritual bankruptcy."
- Sadhguru

Sadly, this is true of most societies in our modern world. And we wonder why the entire globe is in crisis, including Mother Earth.
