Throw roses into the abyss

…throw roses into the abyss and say:
here is my thanks to the monster
who didn’t succeed in swallowing me alive.
- Friedrich Nietzsche

Don’t be afraid. Be alive.

What you have to decide is how you want your life to be.
If your forever was ending tomorrow,
would this be how you’d want to spend it?
Listen, the truth is, nothing is guaranteed.
You know that more than anybody.
So don’t be afraid. Be alive.
 - Sarah Dessen (The truth about forever)

Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.

Stop spending time with the wrong people. – Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.  If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you.  You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot.  Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth.  And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends.

Start spending time with the right people. – These are the people you enjoy, who love and appreciate you, and who encourage you to improve in healthy and exciting ways.  They are the ones who make you feel more alive, and not only embrace who you are now, but also embrace and embody who you want to be, unconditionally.

Stay close

Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.

Bring you alive

Anything and anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.
