"I hold in a lot
When I'm in pain, I don't like to worry other people.
No matter how hard I cry, or how much somebody asks, my answers will be, I'm fine.
Even if it's not true."
"But is this what it feels like
To be growing apart
When did I become the one
Who's always chasing your heart"
"Conceal, don't feel
Don't let them know"
"Sometimes when Elmo has big feelings, Elmo needs big hugs."
"You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering" - Ernest Hemingway
"All you can do for another person is be an environment in which if they wanted to come up for air, they could" - Ram Dass
"sometimes i forget how many times i've picked myself off the floor, how many times i've washed away the day and put myself to bed. how many times i've said no to something unhealthy. said yes to something good. how many times i've treated myself with kindness and patience. i forget how many times i've tended to wounds and made peace with my own anger. if i was taking care of a body that was not my own, i'd believe i was doing everything i could. so here's to remembering that i'm doing the best i can."
