Being mistreated changes you. Before you know it, it defines you, becomes acceptable...reasonable. Don't ever let this become you because once it does, your life is over; you die inside.
✒️
Never accept the unacceptable.
Never settle.
Life is far too short for such tragedies.
✒️
When I'm gone, no one will ask, "Who was she?" How could they? Even I do not know the answer to that.
✒️
In the end, what did it all mean?
What was the point?
If I knew all of the answers,
I'm sure my outcome would have been much, much better.
✒️
It's sad that death is looked upon as a blessing...an opportunity to escape, a break — peace...a vacation from tyranny. Such awful thoughts should be shunned or cursed, yet they are welcome in my mind.
✒️
I don't want to face tomorrow —
today has been bad enough.
✒️
It is bad enough to be defeated,
but to compound it is a death sentence.
✒️
Maybe I should thank all of the people who have wronged me...
For without them,
I would have no words of wisdom to impart.
✒️
Everything in life unfortunately has a price —
some more than others.
Some things cost what money could never buy.
Those are often the worst because they cost you your soul.
✒️
Is there even such a thing as truly winning? Not when all of the titles, prizes, and glory in life are empty, and people hold their value to be worth more than you.
✒️
When the wind is taken from your sails, you look for alternate methods of propulsion. When you are stranded at sea with no other way, you try to survive. When everything is exhausted and all hope is gone, you jump into the abyss and let it take you...never to return.
✒️
Sometimes change is good...but do not be disillusioned to think that it won't come with its own set of problems. There's always the possibility that you could wind-up right back at square one or even worse than you were before.
✒️
How can you ever expect to find the light at the end of the tunnel when you are using a flashlight?
✒️
Everything in life is temporary and destructive in one way or another, yet sometimes, there is beauty in it that must be appreciated.
✒️
Life is one big earthquake followed by a series of never ending aftershocks.
