You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
You have a brain and mind of your own. USE IT, and reach your own decisions.
You are what you think.
Why not make cheerfulness, outrageousness, playfulness a new priority for yourself? Make feeling good your expectation. You don’t have to have a reason to feel good – you’re alive; you can feel good for no reason at all!
Why don’t you go? Stop thinking selfishly of razors and self-wounds and going out and ending it all. Your room is not your prison. You are.
When you’re an Anvil, hold you still; When you’re a Hammer, strike your Fill.
When laziness and timidity yoke us to our duties, we often give virtue the credit for it.[Pendant que la paresse et la timidité nous retiennent dans notre devoir, notre vertu en a souvent tout l’honneur.]
When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.
What you try for is up to you.
What makes life dreary is the want of motive.
We speak very little when vanity does not prompt us to speak.[On parle peu quand la vanité ne fait pas parler.]
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
