Favourite Quotes pt2

So I am doing part 2 because I really enjoyed writing the first part and I feel these teach us a lot. I don’t know about anyone else but I really enjoy reading quotes, they make me think and I like that. Anyways, enjoy

1. “Never give up because beautiful things can be born from misery.”

- I feel like when you are sad, you channel your inner artist, the whole moody and creative side of you which enables you to create art (not necessarily paintings but in any kind of form)

- Sadness makes you feel many types of emotions so channeling that you can create a whole world for yourself.

2. “Like a shooting star, you’ll never know what someone is going through. Sometimes people look absolutely beautiful while falling apart.”

- We have this tendency to hide our emotions so people presume our life is perfect which is wrong because everything is not always what it looks like

- One reminder in life: Nobody is perfect

3. “Just like the moon doesn’t shine without the light, sometimes sadness makes happiness more beautiful.”

- Well, this is so true sometimes you can only feel happy if you are sad.

- It is kind of like you not appreciating something until you lose it. So sometimes after being sad for a lot of time, you appreciate the happiness you feel to another extent

4. “And when you heal, you will understand why you broke.”

- Sometimes it takes time to understand why you broke and you need some time to understand why you needed that time and that it is okay

- Time heals everything

5. “Isn’t it funny day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different.”

- This is so weird to think about, all the days seem to blur together but if you look back to a few months ago, you are a whole different person

- Everyday kind of feels the same (especially during a time like this) but what you don’t know is that you grow a little bit every day, become more aware of yourself, and looking back, you see that everything has changed

6. “If hurt comes, so will happiness.”

- Need I say more?

7. “If it means something to you, fight for it.”

- This is so true. Never be afraid to voice your opinion because you matter and so does your voice

- Never give up on something that means a lot to you, no matter how bad it is. If you value it then it is worth it.

8. “She was afraid of heights but she was more afraid of never flying.”

- We all have fears that hold us back and make us afraid, we constantly live our lives in fear but have you ever stopped to think what your fear is holding you back from achieving?

- One day we have to have the courage to face our fears and overcome everything that is holding us back

9. “A simple truth- we never have today again.”

- One thing to always remember is that don’t waste your day. Make the days count because you can never get it back and you might end up regretting not making the correct choice

10.“Don’t worry about the people who aren’t happy for you, they probably aren’t happy for themselves either.”

- Some people want what you have so what they do is make you feel bad for having what they want which is wrong because making others feel insecure because you want something is cruel

- Whoever truly appreciates and loves you will always be happy for you no matter what

11. “I’ve learned to stop rushing things that need time to grow.”

- Growth is a slow process and takes time to happen so rushing someone’s growth is like stunting who they are as a person

- It reminds me of this saying- if the rose is always picked first how will it be allowed to grow?

12. “It’s one of my theories that when people give you advice, they are just talking to themselves in the past.”

- It’s like they say, you learn from your past experience. It’s not knowledge that makes you wise, it’s the experience from which you gained that knowledge is what makes you wise

13. “Go for it, whether it ends good or bad, it was an experience.”

- I mean, why not? If you don’t try how will you succeed and how will become familiar with your strengths and weaknesses?

- Think about it this way- If Taylor Swift never tried the guitar or tested how well she could sing, we would miss out on so much music as the world would never know who Taylor Swift is.

14.“You’re a work of art. Not everyone will understand you but the ones who do will never forget you.”

- This is the beauty of art, it’s a beautiful mess and it will stay in the hearts of the people whose eye it catches

- If it didn’t catch our eye we wouldn’t have the Mona Lisa and Starry Night now would we?

15.“We are not perfect human beings and we don’t have to pretend to be but it is necessary to be the best versions of ourselves we can be.”

- As I said earlier, nobody is perfect and who likes you for you will always be there so there is no need to put on a façade

16. “Five types of people you have to surround yourself with- the inspired, the passionate, the motivated, the grateful, and the open-minded.”

- The best type of people you will find on this planet

17.“But no one listens to her because she does not have a pretty face to match her pretty mind.”

- This is my favourite one so far, beauty is this weird concept we as a society have developed

- We have set certain standards with regards to the beauty of what you have to look like, what you should wear, and how you should present yourself but that’s what raises insecurity in the first place. We spend our whole life trying to fit in and in fear of what others think

18.“You don’t drown by falling in the water, you drown by staying there.”

- This is so true because what drowns you is not your fear it is the belief truly that your fear will drown you

- Sometimes we should just swim to the shore and stay there to avoid drowning by what we fear most

19.“I find it amusing that we are all pretending to be normal when we could be insanely interesting instead.”

- I don’t understand why people find the need to act dumb when you can literally ace your studies instead

- In the end, it didn’t matter how many friends you had, it mattered that you did something with your life instead of wasting it away being boring

20.“She never looked nice, she looked like art, and art wasn’t supposed to look nice, it was supposed to make you feel something.”

- This is such a beautiful quote because honestly I never judge art on the way it looks because art has a different meaning to every single one so what I appreciated in art was based on the message or the meaning the painter was trying to convey

21. “But the thing is, even if I could go back, I wouldn’t belong there.”

- After letting go, you have to come to terms with the fact that you can never go back there. One because its toxic and two because you left that part of you there for a reason so don’t go back there again

- There is a time and place for everything but going back there is not it

22.“Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything maybe it is about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you.”

- I want to leave this quote to you, it is the way you perceive it and the message you take away from it

23.“The wound is probably not your fault but healing is your responsibility.”

- This is true and even if the wound was your fault, it’s okay to take the opportunity to heal from it and learn from it and most importantly grow from it

24.“Don’t let the fear of what could happen make nothing happen.”

- Don’t surrender to your fear. I read this saying from the book Divergent, it said- Fear doesn’t shut you down, it wakes you up.

- So maybe the lesson may not be overcome your fear, maybe it is to embrace it because it is not possible to be afraid of nothing so embrace what you got

25.“Sometimes the weight you need to lose is not on your body.”

- This is by far the best one and if you made it so far let me know what you thought of this quote

- The weight you need to lose are people who don’t want what’s best for you and people that make you sad and anything that makes you sad

- You are perfect the way you are, please don’t change the way you look for someone, instead, let that someone go and go live your life

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this blog. I had so much fun writing it. Let me know if you want a part three and also did these quotes teach you anything?
