I Am Someone Who Thinks And Feels Much – More Than Is Reasonable. And That Is All.

“I found myself in life so suddenly - where I least expected it… And everything around me kept running. Things and men kept running, running - until I too started running like crazy. But it seems I overdid it.”

— Odysseus Elytis, tr. by Athan Anagnostopoulos, from Maria Nephele: A Poem in Two Voices; “The Presence”

“Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one’s self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily.”

– Thomas Szasz

I don't really need a reason to feel sad..

I don't really need a reason to feel happy..

I don't really need a person to feel romantic about..

I don't really need to have fought to be angry...

I don't really need an exam to feel anxious...

No, it's all on its own, all by itself.

Read More, Read Better

Many of us are looking for more ways to enjoy our time at home in these stressful circumstances. Some of us have turned to books. But how can we make sure we get the most out of them?

“You know, everybody dies. My parents died. Your father died. Everybody dies. I’m going to die too. So will you. The thing is, to have a life before we die. It can be a real adventure having a life.”

Have been looked upon like that! It feels really really special. You start valuing yourself more, you start loving yourself more than ever before, you start cherishing yourself, you start forgiving yourself.☺️☺️

So its WORTH WAITING! It's the best feeling in the world....Its more than HEAVEN. And especially when you are assured of its permanency! When it asks nothing in return, when it's purely unconditional, it's actually a blessing and rarely found.. I am lucky to have found it this early in my life. When u have that kind of thing, u just become complete and satisfied, u stop asking for more...It's bliss! It's divine!

“Someday someone is going to look at you with a light in their eyes you’ve never seen, they’ll look at you like you’re everything they’ve been looking for their entire lives. wait for it”

It's really suffocating, it's not very postive and good...but it's somewhere peaceful. When you know you could have done better, but u also know u couldn't have actually done better..U know u gave your best. And u know what is best for you. But still this world time and again makes you realize that you efforts were not just enough! That 'in comparision' to others ,u performed less. Yes, it's somewhere true too. In order to survive in this world, u need to work like anything! But again, U KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU AND YOU KNOW YOU GAVE YOUR BEST! ISN'T THAT ENOUGH?

Don’t say maybe if you want to say no.
