Somebody who hates me told you...

Oh, somebody who hates me told you a story about me.
Hmm, must be true.

My life and how I should live it...

Oh I’m sorry,
I didn’t realize that you’re an expert on my life and how I should live it.
Please continue while I take notes.

Oh.. I didn’t tell you?

Oh.. I didn’t tell you?
That’s probably because it’s none of your fucking business.

Stay true to yourself

Stay true to yourself because there are very few people who will always be true to you.

Judge me by my past

If you find it necessary to judge me by my past,
don’t be surprised when I find it necessary to put you there.

I never gave you a reason to hate...

I never gave you a reason to hate me.
You’re just creating your own little drama of pure insecurity.

I’m not a bitch

I’m not a bitch; you just don’t like me because I can see through your bullsht!

No matter what anyone says to you...

No matter what anyone says to you,
you don’t have to eat dinner with them,
live with them or go to bed with them.

Making someone smaller does not make you bigger.

Respect is earned, not given.

Treat people the way you want to be treated.
Talk to people the way you want to be talked to.
Respect is earned, not given.

Terrible people do terrible things.

Why?
Because some people are just terrible human beings,
and terrible people do terrible things.
If you’re racking your brain trying to understand it,
it just means you’re not one of those people.

Wish they would stay there...

I understand some people live in their own little world,
sometimes I wish they would stay there and never visit mine.

It’s hard to reach for the stars...

It’s hard to reach for the stars when you’ve got your head up your ass.

Punishment for stupidity?

I’m not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity,
but why don’t we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Get well card

I wrote you a get well card.
I hope you recover quickly from your shitty personality.

Taking care of yourself

You are allowed to terminate toxic relationships.
And you are allowed to walk away from people who hurt you.
You are allowed to be angry and selfish and unforgiving.
You don’t owe anyone an explanation for taking care of yourself.

The way you think about a person

Just remember that sometimes,
the way you think about a person isn’t the way they actually are.
- John Green

What you appear to be

Everyone sees what you appear to be.
Few really know what you are.

“The Law of Mirrors”

When people insult you, don’t take offense, don’t take it personally, but do listen to their words.
They are telling you how they see the world, and they are telling you the exact negative qualities that they possess.
“The Law of Mirrors” states that one can only see what’s in them, regardless if it is what is actually present in reality or not.
Release the need to defend or try to explain to them that you’re not being whatever nasty insult they’ve thrown at you, but evaluate instead all of these insults, and realize that this is who they are.
Then. Decide if a person with those qualities is one who you’d like in your life or not.

Letting go and just learning to enjoy the ride

The older she got, the more she understood that life was not always about maintaining control,
sometimes it was just about letting go and just learning to enjoy the ride.
