I was in a place where nobody knew my heart even a little bit.
- Carol Rifka Brunt 
(via purplebuddhaquotes)
Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say My tooth is aching than to say My heart is broken.
- C. S. Lewis

(via purplebuddhaquotes)
She knew she was really sad, when she stopped loving the things she loved.
- Unknown (via help-n-quotes)
I have no problem telling others to try to love themselves, but when it comes to myself it’s always an uphill battle. It’s so easy to look in the mirror and see just another background character in the story of life, a person that doesn’t and never would hold nearly as much meaning as he wishes he did. I’ll gladly spend my days trying to illuminate the darkness of others, just to fall asleep in the arms of my own at night. Don’t get me wrong, I try to fight my demons too, but some nights they win. Some nights their hold on my heart is too firm.

“I just have to come face to face with the fact that I am not gifted you know? I can appreciate art and I love music but it’s sad, really, because I feel like I have a lot to express and I am not gifted”
