There are times in your life when you realize...


There are times in your life when you realize that no matter what you do for some people, it will never be good enough. The question is, is that your problem or theirs?

There are two things you shouldn't waste your time on



There are two things you shouldn't waste your time on: things that don't matter and people that think you don't matter.

You matter.


If there is one thing I could plant in your heart, it’s that you matter, you’ll always matter. ~ T.B. LaBerge

BAD NEWS is: You cannot make people like, love, understand, validate, accept or be nice to you.

Real friends.


Life is kind of like a party. You invite a lot of people, some leave early, some stay all night, some laugh with you, some laugh at you, and some show up late. But in the end, after the fun, there are a few who stay to help you clean up the mess. And most of the time they aren’t even the ones who made the mess. These people are your real friends. They are the ones who matter most. ~unknown

I exist, and therefore I matter. My thoughts matter. My feelings matter. My voice matters.


Most of my life has been spent trying to shrink myself. Trying to become smaller. Quieter. Less sensitive. Less opinionated. Less needy. Because I didn’t want to be a burden. I didn’t want to be too much or push people away. I wanted people to like me. I wanted to be cared for and valued. I wanted to be wanted. So for years, I sacrificed myself for the sake of making other people happy. And for years, I suffered. But I’m tired of suffering, and I’m done shrinking. It’s not my job to change who I am in order to become someone else’s idea of a worthwhile human being. I am worthwhile. Not because other people think I am, but because I exist, and therefore I matter. My thoughts matter. My feelings matter. My voice matters. And with or without anyone’s permission or approval, I will continue to be who I am and speak my truth. Even if it makes people angry. Even if it makes them uncomfortable. Even if they choose to leave. I refuse to shrink. I choose to take up space. I choose honor my feelings. I choose to give myself permission to get my needs met. I choose me. ~Daniell Keopke.

You are not a bad person



You're not a bad person. You're a very good person, who bad things have happened to. Besides, the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters. We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are. ~Sirius Black - Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix


Everybody says they love somebody.



Everybody in the world says they loves somebody. It means nothing. It still doesn't mean anything. What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you say you love, that's what matters. It's the only thing that counts. 


The Last Kiss



 You make jokes because you're afraid to take anything seriously, because if you take things seriously, they matter. ~House MD ( Damned If You Do )

I don't chase people anymore. I learned that I'm here, and I'm important. I'm not going to run after people to prove that I matter.

You don’t need anyone’s affection or approval in order to be good enough.


You don’t need anyone’s affection or approval in order to be good enough. When someone rejects or abandons or judges you, it isn’t actually about you. It’s about them and their own insecurities, limitations, and needs, and you don’t have to internalize that. Your worth isn’t contingent upon other people’s acceptance of you — it’s something inherent. You exist, and therefore, you matter. You’re allowed to voice your thoughts and feelings. You’re allowed to assert your needs and take up space. You’re allowed to hold onto the truth that who you are is exactly enough. And you’re allowed to remove anyone from your life who makes you feel otherwise.~ Daniell Koepke

All that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy.


You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae. ~ Paul Walker

Because once upon a time, we were best friends.



Because once upon a time, we were best friends. And, yes, there's been a lot of bad stuff in between. But none of that matters right now, okay? You need me, I'm there. Any time, any place, anywhere.

~Dawson's Creek

Sometimes you question yourself. Are you doing the right thing? What will people think about you?


Sometimes you question yourself. Are you doing the right thing? What will people think about you? But the truth is, it shouldn't matter what people think. As long as you’re doing what you love, then you’ll know it’s the right thing to do.
