“If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.”
—Abraham Lincoln speech at Clinton, Illinois, September 8, 1854

“
People want you to be happy.
Don’t keep serving them your pain!
If you could untie your wings
and free your soul of jealousy,
you and everyone around you
would fly up like doves.

“I often hear people say that they read to escape reality, but I believe that what they’re really doing is reading to find reason for hope, to find strength. While a bad book leaves readers with a sense of hopelessness and despair, a good novel, through stories of values realized, of wrongs righted, can bring to readers a connection to the wonder of life. A good novel shows how life can and ought to be lived. It not only entertains but energizes and uplifts readers.”

how are you friends with someone who is pathetic enough to claim they're going to commit suicide all for attention? why would you want to.
How in any way, shape, or form is this question okay to you? I’m friends with Kyle because he’s a good person, he’s nice, funny, great just like any other friend. Kyle has depression, so he gets urges to kill himself. I DO TOO. I mean, many people who deal with depression have that urge. They feel like it’s the best plan, and that no one cares or appreciates them enough for it to matter when they’re gone. I feel like him too, I want to die way more than what’s deemed normal or sane. That’s what happens when you have an illness like that. But just because he gets those lows, and is verbal about them, doesn’t make him a bad person, or an attention seeker. It’s how he feels. And I don’t give a fuck what any of you think. I’m not going to stop being friends with him because of it. If anything he needs as much support from anyone as possible. And I’m here to give him that support. Despite his flaws he’s a great friend, and he’s not pathetic whatsoever. So if you think he’s pathetic then you are calling me pathetic as well. So that anon, is why I am friends with him.

“The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.” —W.H. Auden, Selected Poems
