“Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force.”

“Wild honey smells of freedom The dust - of sunlight The mouth of a young girl, like a violet But gold - smells of nothing.”

“My heart can be hard as a stone and yet soft as water” - Bob Marley

“…I can write the saddest poem of all tonight. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too. On nights like this, I held her in my arms. I kissed her so many times under the infinite sky. She loved me, sometimes I loved her. How could I not have loved her large, still eyes? I can write the saddest poem of all tonight. To think I don’t have her. To feel that I’ve lost her. To hear the immense night, more immense without her. And the poem falls to the soul as dew to grass. What does it matter that my love couldn’t keep her. The night is full of stars and she is not with me. That’s all. Far away, someone sings. Far away. My soul is lost without her. As if to bring her near, my eyes search for her. My heart searches for her and she is not with me. The same night that whitens the same trees. We, we who were, we are the same no longer. I no longer love her, true, but how much I loved her. My voice searched the wind to touch her ear. Someone else’s. She will be someone else’s. As she once belonged to my kisses. Her voice, her light body. Her infinite eyes. I no longer love her, true, but perhaps I love her. Love is so short and oblivion so long. Because on nights like this I held her in my arms, my soul is lost without her. Although this may be the last pain she causes me, and this may be the last poem I write for her.””

— Pablo Neruda, excerpt from The Saddest Poem.

“1. When you’re in high school, worried and anxious, know that everyone feels the same. Everyone is waiting to be judged by invisible people. 2. You’re enough. 3. There are days where your mirror and camera will lie to you. Try not to listen to them. You’re freaking beautiful. 4. Nobody can make you feel bad, worthless, ashamed. You give them that power. 5. College won’t be anything like high school. You’ll fail tests you actually studied for. You’ll want nothing more than to drop out. Don’t drop out. 6. Heartbreak and loss. It’s going to happen. It’ll feel like you’ve been blindsided, like you’ve lost your reason. You’ll survive. You’ll be roughed up, but you’ll survive. 7. Talk to your family. They don’t always deserve your time, but you’ll regret the times they did and you let it pass. 8. Stop being so damn stubborn. That pride is going to ruin us. 9. Step out of your comfort zone. You’re only there because you feel safe. Be free, be happy, not just safe. You’re afraid of falling, but the fall is the best part. 10. Everything will be okay. You’ll be okay. There’s going to be a time where the pits in your stomach will unknot, where the weights on your chest will be lifted. You won’t want to stay in your room. You won’t be afraid. You just have to make it there.”
