Give a F**k

there are times when being a sensitive, caring human being sucks.

One of the first things we say to a weeping child is ‘don’t cry’.

truth is, you don’t need to fix yourself, because you’re not broken. But you may need to fix some behaviour and clean up any mess you made because of that behaviour.

I think it’s just a side of me that gets scared and wants me to shrink back into a place that’s more comfortable.

I had this idea that if I could be really mean to myself, then no one would be able to hurt me, because I’d got there first.

Why haven’t you done that project you said you’d do? You’re useless. You need to do it now. You’re not allowed to enjoy anything until you’ve done it. I bet you can’t do it anyway. If you can’t do this you’re worth nothing.’

o yes, this moment matters. It’s also all we ever have. The past is gone, the future can rarely be imagined. All that is real is here and now. And if you’re willing to pause for a moment and look around, it could be greater than you imagine.

As long as you are breathing, there is more right with you than there is wrong, no matter how ill or how hopeless you may feel.’

We can use what we don’t want to show us what we do want.
