  • memories are weird because they are things that have happened which even if they felt good at the time can feel horrible to look back upon
  • even if you don't want to go back to those times, it's just sad sometimes that they are gone now and there are things you have forgotten and can never re-live
  • people you used to look at and love so much, and you memorised the shape of their cheekbones and the colour of their eyelashes, the way their lips looked when they said your name and the way they walked towards you
  • and now you may as well be strangers
  • all you can do I guess is appreciate that you had those times, and remember that they made you who you are today, and you learned, and even if you could you wouldn't want to go back

  • take a bath, put in some tea tree drops, bring a book for company, don't bring your phone
  • write about how you are feeling, however ill-written, express yourself
  • don't close yourself off too much from those you love. Don't be alone for too long, don't let yourself get worse
  • drink water, gulp it down, a nice cool glass, be refreshed
  • go easy on yourself. Don't say 'Why am I like this, why can't I be better'. You are human, you are fragile, you do not need to feel bad for feeling this way, accept yourself

  • "When you start to really know someone, all his physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in his energy, recognize the scent of his skin. You see only the essence of the person,not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant". Lisa Unger, Beautiful Lies
