i. nothing good or bad lasts forever.
ii. you’ve survived everything awful that has ever happened to you. you can survive this, too.
iii. it’s ok if the only person you save is yourself.
iv. God has never made a person he did not love. you are not the exception.
v. sit in the rain and realize that even nature has to cry.
vi. for he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. -psalm 91:11
vii. maybe life won’t get better. but what if it does?
viii. 1. you must let the pain visit. 2. you must allow it to teach you. 3. you must not allow it to overstay. -i.u., three routes to healing
ix. everything you’re feeling is common, even though you’ve never felt so alone. (rhode island // the front bottoms)
x. one day you will wake up and it won’t hurt so much. keep believing that it will be tomorrow.
xi. you will break. but oh, you will also heal. -k.a.
xii. there are people in this world who love you. there’s me, for a start.
xiii. darkness exists to make light truly count. (uneven odds // sleeping at last)
xiv. repeat after me: my current situation is not my final destination.
xv. you are doing your best, no matter what people tell you.
xvi. how rare and beautiful it is to even exist. (saturn // sleeping at last)
xvii. stay close to people who feel like sunshine.
xviii. try to be that sunlight for others.
xix. everything is gonna be alright. be strong. believe. (believe // yellowcard)
xx. it’s ok to stop and lie down and close your eyes if you need to. just make sure to get up again.
xxi. and i will say that we should take a moment and hold it and keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone. (migraine // twenty one pilots)
