On the last day of the school term
some people are like:
and other people are like:
and i’m just like:
It is okay.
It is a victory not a failure to admit my problems, acknowledge any wrong I’ve done, and to turn to a Higher Power for help.
It is healthy to accept and love myself, and let others love me, for I am worthy of respect and love.
It is okay to trust myself and others. I can be responsible for myself, just as others are resposnible for themselves.
It is possible for me to be happy, since happiness depends on myself and not my attitude, not on other people or things.
It is possible for me to change if I set realistic goals. I can reach them one step at a time and one day at a time.
I can’t do everything, or do everything perfectly, but I can do something. If I fail, it’s okay. There’s no failure except in not trying.
It is alright to set limits to keep my sanity and serenity. It is okay to let things go that cannot be changed or do not matter.
It is okay. And this I trully beleive.
“And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual.”
—East of Eden by John Steinbeck (via quote-book)
“Was I bored? No, I wasn’t fuckin’ bored. I’m never bored. That’s the trouble with everybody - you’re all so bored. You’ve had nature explained to you and you’re bored with it, you’ve had the living body explained to you and you’re bored with it, you’ve had the universe explained to you and you’re bored with it, so now you want cheap thrills and, like, plenty of them, and it doesn’t matter how tawdry or vacuous they are as long as it’s new as long as it’s new as long as it flashes and fuckin’ bleeps in forty fuckin’ different colors. So whatever else you can say about me, I’m not fuckin’ bored.”
