But even when our hopes give way to reality, and we finally have to surrender to the truth, it just means we’ve lost to today’s battle, not tomorrow’s war.
Everyone has a shadow. And the only way to get rid of a shadow is to turn off the lights, to stop running from the darkness and face what you fear, head on.
Sometimes we tell the truth because the truth is all we have to give. Sometimes we tell the truth because we need to say it out loud to hear it for ourselves. And sometimes we tell the truth because we just can't help ourselves. Sometimes, we tell them, because we owe them at least that much.
There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout But you're just as far in as you'll ever be out These mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again If you only try turning around.
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table. No one can find the rewind button boys, So cradle your head in your hands, And breathe, just breathe.
Dreams feel true and for that one moment between waking and dreaming, anything can be real and then you open your eyes and the sun hits you and then you realize.
When you're little, night time is scary because there are monsters hiding right under the bed. When you get older the monsters are different. Self doubt, Loneliness, Regret. And though you may be older and wiser, you still find yourself scared of the dark.
Some wars result in complete and total victory. Some wars end with a peace offering. And some wars end in hope... But all these wars are nothing compared to the most frightening war of all. The one you have yet to fight.
Once upon a time, happier ever after. The stories we tell are the stuff of dreams. Fairy tales don't come true. Reality is much stormier. Much murkier. Much scarier. Reality it’s so much more interesting than living happily ever after.
Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is, it’s hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely because almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope and faith that one day they would open their eyes and it would all come true.
Maybe I do believe it. All this meant to be stuff. Why not believe it? Really, who doesn’t want more romance in their life? Maybe it’s just up to us to make it happen, to show up and be that for each other. At least that way we’ll find out for sure if you’re meant to be or not.
Carpe diem, how annoying is carpe diem? How are you supposed to plan a life, a career, a family, if you’re always carpe-ing the diem? If we all ceased every moment of every day, there wouldn’t be doctors who would sit through med school. We’d all be too busy living in the now. Whatever that means.
Es ist schon was dran an dem Spruch mit dem halbvollen Glas. Dass man wissen muss, wann man besser aufhört. Ich glaube, die Grenze ist fließend. Sie zeigt an, was man braucht, und was man noch haben möchte. Die Grenze liegt bei jedem Menschen woanders, und sie hängt davon ab, was eingegossen wird. Manchmal möchten wir nur ein bisschen probieren. Und es gibt andere Gelegenheiten, da ist uns nichts genug. Das Glas ist bodenlos. Wir wollen nur eins: Mehr!
Man braucht eine Grenze zwischen sich und dem Rest der Welt. Andere Leute sind viel zu kompliziert. Es geht immer um Grenzen. Man muss sie abstecken, und dann kann man nur noch hoffen, dass niemand sie überschreitet.
Egal, wie sehr man sich dagegen wehrt, jeder Mensch fällt irgendwann einmal. Und das ist eine schreckliche Erfahrung. Aber wenn es etwas Gutes am Fallen gibt, dann ist es die Chance, die man seinen Freunden gibt, einen aufzufangen.
