Spent half of my life being sad 

over situations I had no control over,

carrying the weight of others.

It was exhausting.

One day I woke up and decided 

I deserve the best in life,

changed my mindset 

and haven't looked back.

We doen anderen vaak meer pijn met twijfel

dan met een  besluit.

Sometimes 

people let the same problem 

make them miserable for years

 when they could just say, 

‘So what.’ 

That’s one of my favorite things to say. 

‘So what.’

- Andy Warhol -

She seems like such a nice optimistic person and yet she she is born into a life of poverty and the reciprocal misery of poverty.

She doesn’t see that. 

She wants a reflection of happiness.

Closing your eyes isn’t going to change anything.

Nothing’s going to disappear just because you can’t see what’s going on.

In fact, things will even be worse the next time you open your eyes.

That’s the kind of world we live in.

Keep your eyes wide open.

Only a coward closes his eyes.

Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won’t make time stand still.

- Haruki Murakami -

 

 

 Vriendschap 

is het scherp houden

 van de zachtheid in jezelf.

 You either get bitter or better.

 It's that simple. 

You either take what has been dealt to you

 and allow it to make you a better person,

 or you allow it to tear you down. 

The choice does not belong to fate, 

it belongs to you.

Today is a gift 

and I am blessed 

to be here.

 

 

 De meest reële vorm van leven 

vind ik; 

zien wat er gebeurt.

Mensen zeggen:

 “Je moet niet denken dat je bijzonder bent.”

 Nou, dat denk ik niet, 

dat weet ik wel zeker.

 Where does music go

 when it’s not playing?

 

 

 

 

Just because 

someone carries it well

doesn't mean

it isn't heavy 

 

 

INTUITION

When you don't know how you know...

but you know you know

and you know you knew

and that's all you need to know...
