“This year taught me that my loneliness has more to do with myself than anyone else. The loneliest I will ever be is when I do not have the strength to love myself.”

“So instead of seeing your depression and anxiety as a form of madness, I would tell my younger self—you need to see the sanity in this sadness. You need to see that it makes sense. Of course it is excruciating. I will always dread that pain returning, every day of my life. But that doesn’t mean the pain is insane, or irrational. If you touch your hand to a burning stove, that, too, will be agony, and you will snatch your hand away as quickly as possible. That’s a sane response. If you kept your hand on the stove, it would burn and burn until it was destroyed.”

Something About Us
You got me love, the feeling's getting harder to hide
It's obvious, instead I keep it bottled inside
It's all because I'm waiting till the timing is right
Travel sights on random flights, you by my side
It's no surprise you got a man
But I see you giving mixed signals like you wanna take a chance
I'm trynna play my hand, you trynna stay true
When there's something about us I'd like to share with you
Cherish you, care for you in every way
I wanna be the reason that you smile everyday
Your style is amazing, I ain't trynna complicate things
But the way things seem I may be
Lately we've been way to close
Guilty grin when you can't say no
Maybe you need to let things go
When you're ready baby, let me know (let me know)
I might not be the right one
It might not be the right time
But there's something about us I have to say
'Cause there's something between us anyway
It might not be the right time
I might not be the right one
But there's something about us I got to do
Some kind of secret I will share with you
I need you more than anything in my life
I want you more than anything in my life
I'll miss you more than anyone in my life
I love you more than anyone in my life
One
I don't mind no strings attached
And I'm in no kind of rush, babe
But it's looking like I met my match
You know you really know your stuff, babe
Go ahead, puff your chest out
I know you live for a challenge
And you're not gonna break down
'Cause you're mighty like a lion
Sittin' on top of that mountain of pride
You got yours, I got mine
But I'll only break if you crack
I'll give if you can give back
I'll only break if you crack
I'll give if you can give back
I'm even tempted to open up
But I'll only fall if you're first
So just in case I get hurt
I won't be the only one
I know I can be petty
Caught up in keeping score
Yeah, I got problems
Name somebody who don't
But I'll only fall if you're first
So just in case I get hurt
I won't be the only one
