“I think I like my brain best in a bar fight with my heart. I think I like myself a little broken, with rough edges, a little harder to grasp. I like poetry better than therapy anyway. The poems never judge me for healing wrong.”

— Clementine von Radics, Mouthful of Forevers (via books-n-quotes)

“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness…”

“After several years of surviving, I find my soul aching to live. And all those years wasted can not be undone, we rarely ever get a do over. But when life is right in front of you, giving you a second chance, grasp onto it. Do not shield from it. Because however messy life can be, however much pain it can bring; It can be quite beautiful and just as healing, if you embrace it with an open mind and a loving heart. But I find myself grasping, with nothing to cling to. My fingertips slightly brushing it in an attempt to get a hold of it, close enough for me to imagine, to see the future, but not so close that I can actually touch it, hold it. But surviving has never been easy, and living however diverse it can be; does not come easily either. So I push myself closer, each day the tips of my fingers get a little longer, or maybe life gets a little bigger, for all I know the future of a life spent on living, becomes a little brighter, a little more promising. And I tell myself, I can do this. I have to do this. After all, we rarely get do overs. It would be a shame to waste this one on more years of surviving. I decide to let go of my regret, let go of my failures and the blame. I decide to forgive myself for all the years wasted, I feel myself growing lighter, taller. One day surviving will be a stranger, simply an old acquaintance. I will return to my first love, rekindle what once was, and never again loose sight of what is important on this earth. After all, I was born to live.”
