Uplifting quotes & Inspiring Thoughts
I hope you can help me add uplifting and inspiring quotes here.
Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

"Do not pray for easier lives. Pray to be stronger men."
-John F Kennedy
I have learned that no matter how much I care some people don't care back. I have learned that you can't make someone live you. All you can do is be someone who can be lived. The rest is up to them. I have learned that it takes years to build up trust but only seconds to destroy it
One small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.
maybe your happy ending is walking away from something that does not help you grow
"So even when your bones feel like weights ,and its hard to put a smile on your perfect face. It'll be alright, they just jealous of your highs and they can knock you down but like the air you can rise"

I've always interpreted this as have my life's trials build me up and make me stronger, not break me down.
"My mama told me that sometimes people have to cry out all their tears to make room for a heart full of smiles."
This is a quote from my favourite actor - jared padalecki:
Everyone is given a candle that burns just for them. When your flame flickers you fear it will go out. Know not even the strongest winds are forever and there are other lights to guide you even in the darkness. And when your candle burns bright, it will ignite the hearts of others and hope will spread like a wildfire; always keep fighting and you'll never fight alone

These last two years have been exhilarating and exhausting,
Days came and they went
People came and they left
I have made memories with friends who became family
, and spent nights with family who felt like strangers.
I have laughed and I have cried,
I remember the drunken nights and Sunday lunches the hangovers, Pizza boxes stacked and empty wine bottles
The meaningless hookups and one night stands
these last two years have been exhilarating and exhausting
I have learned and tried and failed and failed and failed
I have stood up and I fallen again
I have had to learn about heartache and heartbreak and hellos and goodbyes.
I have experienced success and failures and have dealt with trauma and shock and surprise .
Disappointments and let downs
I met my best friend who became a sister and a second half and I have lost her, I have done death and regret and guilt and depression
First loves and last names
And more
Loss and love
And being in love and finding new love
I learnt about serendipity and faith and feit, and farewells too.
I have ran so far and so often that I lost my way my home and myself too.
I found happiness somewhere in all my sorrows and sorrow in my happiness
I have lost my family and I have found them again
I learnt about forgiveness and I have forgiven
I have quit smoking about 100 times and I'm still quiting it weekly in my mind
I have slept with men to many to count and I have hurt people much to often
I have been proud and stubborn and self destructive and I've had to suffer the consequences
I've lied and been lied to
I've traveled and teached and learnt
But if I look back at it all
I'd say that it was two years of heaven and it was two years of hell
Can I just say thank you so much for sharing this.
This reflects myself EXACTLY. and I'm so happy I'm not alone ❤️
Isn't it strange how we all feel alone in a world full of people feeling just like us?

"To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of LIFE."

Enjoy the little things in life, because one day you will look back and realise that in fact they are the big things!
everyone wants happiness, no body wants pain,but you cant make a rainbow, without a little rain
Sometimes you meet someone, and its so clear that the two of you, on some level belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or youre in love or youre partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I dont know if that makes me believe in coincidence, or fate, or sheer blind luck, but it definitely makes me believe in something.
yesterday is history tomorrow is a mystery today is a gift thats why its called the present

Sometimes you make plans and they dont work out but thats life. Not everything will go your way but it will go the way its supposed to,whether you say or do something about it.
" Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.. "
There is absolutely no reason to be kind; except for the fact that sincere kindness is rewarded with the warm sensation of contentment in witnessing the happiness you have given others.
