“Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.” - Stephen Chbosky, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

I feel like this quote is similar to a few ones that I've already elaborated, but it's another very true one. I really find this quote encouraging because I know from experience that it's telling the truth. A lot of things will change in our lives, a lot of people will come and go, but those changes won't ever be fatal even though it might seem otherwise. I am definitely not the right person to say this, but I think we should not look at change as a tragic thing because a lot of the time something great will come out of them. I am obviously someone who gets stressed out and worried even at the slightest changes, but I would love to change that about myself and learn to be more carefree and spontaneous. So, once again - life goes on.

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” - Theodore Roosevelt

To summarise - use what you've got instead of complaining about the things you don't have and wishing you did. I can be guilty of doing this, for sure, but we can all agree that there's no point to it. If you can't change your situation, find a way to make the best of it. That's all the philosophy from me for today. 

P.S. Tomorrow is the last quote I'll be elaborating. On the 24th there's a different type of post coming.

“It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.” - J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Coming from someone who doesn't like confrontation at all, this statement really is true. Standing up to people you don't really like isn't the most pleasant thing you'll do, but at the end of the day it can feel somewhat rewarding. However, standing up to your friends is at least ten times worse because there are feelings involved. It can be very difficult to get your point across when you're tiptoeing around a person trying not to hurt them. It definitely makes an already uncomfortable situation even more uncomfortable because you usually don't want to cause a fight with the people you actually care about so you try your best to state your mind without sounding too harsh. Or is it just me who does this?

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.” - George Eliot

This is kind of like the Troye Sivan quote about creating yourself instead of finding yourself. You can literally change anything you want about yourself whenever you want, so there's no need to beat yourself up over the things you don't like. Sometimes it might take a bit more time and effort to change a particular trait, but in the grand scheme of things, the point is that you are in control and you can be whatever you want to be if you just try hard enough.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - H. Jackson Brown Jr., P.S. I Love You

This quote to me is both encouraging and daunting at the same time. Realizing that one day your current inhibitions and anxieties might make you regret your decisions is very intimidating. While at the moment, staying in your comfort zone can seem like the right and safe decision, later on in life you might conclude that staying in instead of going to that party or missing out any opportunity for the sake of feeling safe, was not as good of an idea as you'd thought. That's why I will try and make it my mission to do more things and let go of my safety blanket more often. I would love to explore and dream and discover and not feel crippled by anxiety while doing so. So from time to time, I hope to sail away from my safe harbor and be able to look back on that time and feel proud of myself. So should you.

“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.” - Robert Frost

First of all, sorry that this post is almost 7 hours late. But hey, better late than never, right? Now onto the quote.
I've recently been feeling pretty unsettled by loads of things and I've been thinking way too much and getting myself all nervous. What I like to do in those moments is to tell myself that that too shall pass. That's why this quote resonates with me so much - it says the exact thing I say to myself in an attempt to calm myself down. 
Regardless of how you're feeling though, isn't this quote just so true? Whatever happens to you and however it leaves you feeling, life will go on. You won't stay in that situation forever and you won't feel that way forever, just a few more moments, days, weeks... Then, eventually, it will go on and you'll just be left with the memory of how things used to be. Apart from being very true, isn't that also so beautiful? Knowing that life is ever-changing and so are you.
