    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    "I'm stronger than I've ever been. I'm stronger than a bin."

    Me and my friend made up that quote yesterday at school after I won a wrestling match against a bin because my pizza box was determined to not fit into the bin but crushing it would be boring.

    I won't let them break me down to dust. I know that there's a place for us. For we are glorious. When the sharpest words wanna cut me down. I'm gonna send a flood gonna drown them out. I am brave. I am bruised. I am who I'm meant to be. This is me.

    This song feels like such an anthem to people like me who might feel like they don't fit into the world or into anything. 💘❤💓💕💖💗💙💚💛💜💝💞💟❣💌

    If you are having a good day, be considerate. A simple smile could be the first-aid kit that someone has been looking for. If you believe with absolute honesty that you are doing everything you can – do more.



    Not necessarily a quote but a verse in a good poem 😄

    Instructions for a bad day - Shane Koyczan

    He’s brilliant, have been tweeting wee bits from his poems over the past few days.

    I also like his poems :  tomatoes & how to be a person. They’re nice to listen to but I find I take in the words much more when reading his poems instead.

    Thank you so much @Liam! I might take a look at a few of his works, I love coming across a new poet!

    The one that goes like. Those that care don’t matter those that don’t matter. Don’t think it’s like that but it means why care about someone’s opinion who doesn’t give a shit about you. 

    My goal in life is to stop caring about what everyone thinks about me
     not everyone will like me. and should be totally fine about that. Although tbh there’s nothing to not like tbh. I’m pretty boring and don’t say much. (Talking about irl
