A selfless act out of even the purest desire to do for others, will be selfish in the satisfaction and happiness it brings to one doing it.

It’s okay to disagree with the thoughts or opinions expressed by other people. That doesn’t give you the right to deny any sense they might make. Nor does it give you a right to accuse...

Some people like living in black and white worlds. Let them stay there. Appreciate all the colors you see in your world though.

Even if you think you’re doing well and have it all figured out, there is a voice you will always inevitably hear at some point which nags at you and says “but wait…” Don’t ever...

I think it’s better to be comfortable in your skin than to be miserable being who you are. Sure, the meth is horrible. It ruins people from the inside out. It’s a waiting game —...

If you love yourself the most at your happiest moments, there is no reason not to be fond of who you are in the dark.

Your whole life and the story of your journey is the landscape picture on the front of the box of a 1,000 piece puzzle. The pieces are each a small sticky note that ends in...

The more fucked up you are, the more I like you. As long as you’ve managed to hold onto your identity through all the shit, then it won’t matter how twisted you are. I will...

Dogs are how people would be if the important stuff is all that mattered to us.

There is nothing wrong with revenge. The wrong has already been done, or there would be no need to even the score.
