In my head…

"A man’s suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. Therefore the “size” of human suffering is absolutely relative."
- Viktor Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning

"Head to toe in black on a summers day.
The difference between me and you is that I don’t put myself on display.
I’d rather be judged by the things I do and say,
Not for the shape of my body or colour of my skin,
I had no say in the body God put me in.
But I do have a choice on the way I want to be viewed,
That’s why I chose INTELLECT over Nude."

"If you think of this world as a place intended simply for our happiness, you find it quite intolerable: think of it as a place for correction and it’s not so bad. Imagine a set of people all living in the same building. Half of them think it is a hotel, the other half think it is a prison. Those who think it a hotel, might regard it as quite intolerable, and those who thought it was a prison might decide that it was really surprisingly comfortable. So that what seems the ugly doctrine is one that comforts and strengthens you in the end. The people who try to hold an optimistic view of this world would become pessimists: the people who hold a pretty stern view of it become optimistic."

"I didn’t know why I was going to cry, but I knew that if anybody spoke to me or looked at me too closely the tears would fly out of my eyes and the sobs would fly out of my throat and I’d cry for a week. I could feel the tears brimming and sloshing in me like water in a glass that is unsteady and too full."

"Bad times, hard times, this is what people keep saying; but let us live well, and times shall be good. We are the times: Such as we are, such are the times."

How much longer can I take?
How much longer can I bear and not break?
or have I tiptoed my way pass the break?
reaching utter passivity..
and yet I write this seeking serendipity..
too much apathetic and foolish acts..
the nerves they have calling themselves adults!
Their fake proclaims of rationality, that leave me wishing to rather be not a child but, an infant.
I am revolted as I sit near and peer..
Peer through their ignorant acts of blame that burden me and weigh heavily on my O’ so very fragile shoulders.
Rage and tantrum have become my only two loyal friends.
And dare I ask for normality?
I am but a lost soul that is stuck between two spiral ends,
A lost soul that is edged with disappointments,
A lost soul that is left to wander inside a cold room with forsaken thoughts lying in each corner.
Forsaken thoughts that are conflicted with unsatisfied answers.
My only consolation is the depth of my words.

"it wasn’t that she looked glamorous or elegant; it was more that she radiated a natural beauty, a woman who knew she was attractive but didn’t spend all day thinking about it"
- Nickolas Sparks in one of his books describing what attracted one of his male characters to a very pretty female one.
