“I’m not everything I want to be, but l’m more than I was, and l’m still learning.”

“Sometimes people think they know you. They know a few facts about you, and they piece you together in a way that makes sense to them. And if you don’t know yourself very well, you might even believe that they are right. But the truth is, that isn’t you. That isn’t you at all.”

“Soon you’ll realize that many people will love the idea of you but will lack the maturity to handle the reality of you.”

“Go and love someone exactly as they are. And then watch them transform into the greatest, truest version of themselves.”

“They may not have loved you, but they did change you. They taught you. They grew you.”

“When you’re depressed, you grasp on to anything that can get you through the day. That’s what depression is, not sadness or tears. It’s the overwhelming sense of numbness and the desire for anything that can help you make it from one day to the next.”

“I’m homesick all the time … I just don’t know where home is. There’s this promise of happiness out there. I know it. I even feel it sometimes. But it’s like chasing the moon. Just when I think I have it, it disappears into the horizon.”

“Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.”

“Not everyone who is single is lonely; not everyone who is taken is in love.”

“Maybe I’ll see you in another life, if this one wasn’t enough.”

— Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
