Sometimes certain tasks/experiences seem pointless and tedious, but when you're finished and you take a step back, only then can you realize how rewarding they really are.

You don't know how much an experience has changed you until you try to live without it...

Sometimes you have to help yourself before you can help others

Sometimes when you do something for a while, you get stuck in this sheltering bubble, like a comfortable and safe state of mind. and when it ends and you break through the surface back into the real world... it's amazing the heartache you can get.

To realize your full potential. To truly get to know yourself. To learn you can handle it on your own. Or even to find that you've always known how to do the little things... It takes a little time away from the person who's always taken care of you.

Sometimes in life you feel like things will never get better. But life isn't about things getting better. It's about making them better.

When these sad days take over and all I can think about is why I stopped caring about things, I try to remember why I cared in the first place.
