Not Mad Just Outside Your House With A Gun

Trista Mateer, from Small Ghost: Poems; "Small Ghost Checks Her Self History,"

Even if your life sucks right now, you can do things to make it suck less. Learn to make your favorite coffee drink. Wear clothes you really like. Do yoga. Sometimes the small things save us.

When a person tells you you hurt them, you don’t get to decide you didn’t.

Everyday I’m learning that you just have to keep going, cry a little bit, but keep going.

Anaïs Nin, Delta of Venus, originally published: 1977

You can love someone and still choose to say goodbye to them. You can miss someone every day and still be glad they are no longer in your life.
