What kept me sane was knowing that things would change, and it was a question of keeping myself together until they did.

Stop letting the voices of others inside your sanctity who only cast doubt.

I dont care for the phrase, it could always be worse or when comparing one's situation to another's. This dismisses a person's feelings which are just as real as any others.

Never expect anything from anyone. This way you are not disappointed and always surprised by their kindness.
