The time it takes to fall. 1

It's easy. You just love me with all your heart and soul till the end of time.

And if you look a little closer, you'll see that if a person believes that life is terrible, they’ll constantly look for proof of this, to confirm their view of the world. They’ll find quotes and situations and events in their life and magnify them a hundred times.

If a person believes that life is wonderful, they’ll look for the corresponding signage and behave in a similar manner to the previous person with their view of the world.

Often, this is the same person on different days of the week.

Small people only want one thing from you:

Someone else to be as small as they are.

Stay big.

I made loneliness a home. Your ghost moved in next door. You should come get your stuff.
We help people when big things happen to them, when you see them getting hit by a car, when a brother or a sister or a father or a mother dies, we're there for them because we can see that death kills more than the person it takes. And yet, the people around us who die a little all the time, moment by moment, who require the least help, the smallest sacrifice, are the ones we ignore completely.

All the hardest, coldest people you meet were once as soft as water.

And that's the tragedy of living.
